Washington • Someday, in the not-so-distant future, sea-level rise could claim Mar-a-Lago. Perhaps President Trump — by then no doubt disgraced, shunned and all but forgotten — would still be around to see his beloved Florida resort wiped out by a “Chinese hoax.”

Everything is personal with Trump. Can't anybody get it through his head that his own coastal properties are urgently threatened? And that he is going out of his way to hasten their demise?
