Palm Beach is up in arms, they are not happy people and want 45 to find somewhere else to go

[monmouth4]

on weekends. Was watching the local news this a.m. as they interviewed the local citizens. "We were not and are not prepared for his visits here every weekend and it's hurting our businesses terribly." That was the general gist of the complaints. The donald was never greatly liked down here and these weekend trips are just annoying the citizens. There is a lot of power down here and will be curious to see what they do about this inconvenience. Many main roads are shut down (Worth Avenue) and those businesses are suffering. Tourism has dropped off considerably and people are going somewhere else. When you start affecting places like Worth Avenue and The Breakers Hotel, there will be changes made. Don't know how but this will be interesting to watch.

[no_hypocrisy]

1. Trump either doesn't care that their businesses are hurting or he's gloating about it.

That's his revenge for their Society not accepting him and his family in the Eighties, for being noveau riche and being Donald Trump generally.

[SammyWinstonJack]

3. A bit of both, I suspect, if he's aware at all of the situation. Probably can't worry his very

smart brain over such trivialities.

[monmouth4]

7. Oh, he's aware. The Sheriff met with him personally to discuss the problem, had his picture taken

and have heard nothing further..

[SammyWinstonJack]

13. WOW. He's hideous, then.

[thesquanderer]

55. I think we already knew that. (n/t)

[Maraya1969]

60. I would love for someone at the electric company to accidentally knock off power to Mara-Gulag

[littlemissmartypants]

69. I'd prefer it to be ...

A power surge followed by flickering lights indicative of the drain on the grid as they flip the switch to turn on the chain thingy. Or maybe a radio into the swimming pool freak accident. We can always hope for a rogue lighting flash to hit his raised nine iron.

In his case I may have to resurrect my internal death penalty debate. For. Against. For. Against....

Hands cuffs and off to the gulag?

What do you think Maraya1969?

[Maraya1969]

78. I could never be for the death penalty. I think that unleashes a bad part of my mind that is better

kept contained.

But I understand your severe emotions.....I have them too!

[monmouth4]

5. That is exactly right. I remember the "flag" he had in the front of Mar-a-Lago (unbelievably big,

car dealership size) and the citizens won that round, made him remove it. He truly is such a putz.

[sunonmars]

9. Probably hoping he can steal up properties surrounding on the cheap.

[trusty elf]

10. Yes, that would be par for the course.

[iluvtennis]

49. Drump just cares about lining his pockets and doesn't care about them...

...I don't know the figure but the govt (us taxpayer) have to pay the expenses he incurs in staying at Mar-a-lago. Essentially he rents out space from Mar-a-logo and gov't responsible for taking care of him. He did the same thing with his properties during the primaries and elections...he tried to exclusively use Trump properties (and his plane) and all of the election monies paid for it. GAH

[iluvtennis]

54. $3million goes to #TraitorTrump every weekend he goes to Mar-a-lago...

Link to tweet

[notdarkyet]

56. He's sticking it to the taxpayers too, for millions,every time he goes there.

[titaniumsalute]

2. Yeah he doesn't care

I'm very familiar with the Town of Palm Beach. Obviously it is home to very upscale retail shops and businesses, the Breakers Hotel and Resort, and of course hundreds of the world's 1% residences.

It is hard enough to get to and travel around Palm Beach in the Winter season due to traffic and relatively narrow two lane roads. Factor in the Orange Wonder and it must be a complete nightmare.

[obamanut2012]

30. And, these people also cannot use their boats any more

[Cha]

4. I had no clue.. thank you for this, monmouth

[monmouth4]

6. YW Cha. I know it sounds petty with all of the problems in the world, but when it takes an hour for

a five minute run to a destination, somethings gotta give..

[Cha]

8. It doesn't sound petty at all. Businesses are being affected..

And traffic is jamming up.. people really do Not like that.

trump causes problems wherever he goes.

[littlemissmartypants]

66. The pussy grabbers, they're everywhere.

They grab everything. They don't care.

We have to stop them Cha!

It's a Global nightmare, lmsp.

[littlemissmartypants]

70. Exactly.

I'm trying not to cry. ♡Cha♡

[Scarsdale]

11. "want 45 to find somewhere else to go?"

HELL would be my first choice. He is having a helipad constructed (at taxpayer expense of course) to solve the problem. Hopefully he will be impeached before it is finished. These trips every weekend at draining the treasury at an unbelieveable rate. $3 MILLION at a conservative estimate. Then add tRump Tower in NY. Mrs. tRump flies down separately, so that add to the cost. This person (I refuse to call him a man) is a luxury we can not afford.

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

21. He could try staying at the White House at bit more for starters. n/t

[Pluvious]

23. They just need to build a mini golf course over the former First Lady's garden

So he can have something to do between naps and Tweet rages.

[JHB]

27. Nah, I'd just as soon let him go to his dacha on the Black Sea...

Which he totally did nyet receive from Vladdy Boy.

[tblue37]

72. He does no work. All he does is tweet, watch TV, and appear at a few ceremonial photo ops. nt

[JustAnotherGen]

12. He should go to work

White House - Camp David.

Anywhere but Bedminster.

[Pluvious]

24. But you forget...

There's no audience at Camp David to show off being Presidential to.

What would be the point ?

[Mendocino]

41. To him Camp David would be

like sleeping in a tent, no golden toilets there.

[SeattleVet]

71. He won't go to Camp David.

If he, his staff, the Secret Service, and all the rest all have to stay in government-owned property, he doesn't get to collect money from them for lodging, food, communications upgrades, and a new heliport at Mar-a-Loco. No money goes into his pocket if they stay at Camp David, where the infrastructure is already in place for accommodating the necessary entourage.

[malaise]

14. K & R

for truth

[kstewart33]

15. Thanks for the info.

Good to know.

[Ligyron]

16. Yeah, it sucks all right and I live here.

Well, not since this moran started coming her every weekend, I'm now staying out west in polo/horse country at my daughter's to avoid that nightmare. Once was enough for me.

I've driven into West Palm to help line the road with protesters going from the airport to Mar-a-largo when this human plague shows up. I've also asked people there if they were familiar with DU hoping to maybe find one of you guys there but so far, no luck.

I have friends whose businesses are directly effected and who are losing money hand over fist. The Winter Season is when many make most of their profit for the year and Dump is killing them.

Worth Ave is a long ass way from Dump's club too and I was totally unaware it was actually closed until I read this. Hard to believe.

IMPEACH HIM NOW!!!

I wanna go to the beach...

[monmouth4]

17. I'm downtown in WPB on Flagler. It doesn't actually affect this part of town too much but I think

Okeechobee and County Road are a real headache until he finally leaves. Around 4:00 or so, alleluia..

[Ligyron]

19. Hi neighbor!

I've had people tell me US1/Dixie hwy was closed off in both directions for a long inconvenient ride. Didn't know about Worth Ave being closed. Now, that's just nutz!

[monmouth4]

36. Dixie Hwy is a main artery. People either leave work early, leave later than usual (on a Friday!!)

or just don't go in. Many go in on Saturday to make up for it. Very inconvenient..

[monmouth4]

52. Hi neighbor! Another weekend has passed and all seems calm right now. Let's see what happens next.

[Ligyron]

76. When you turn on the national news and there's PBI airport filling the whole screen

just waiting for Dump to leave or arrive - it's surreal. It's hard for me to grasp that this emotionally immature and narcissistic individual was actually elected President by a slight majority our fellow countrymen. Supposedly ...

I would never in my long life have imagined that so many rural folks and southerners especially could fall for what they would normally would consider to be one of them "loudmouthed, big city New York smart asses".

And the rubes fell for it in droves too.

I'm actually hoping they build that waste-of-the-taxpayers money helipad quickly to get him in and out without screwing up traffic so much. I like eating out on the Island weekends.

Either that or he's impeached or resigned soon to get him the hell out of here.

Bad part is: even if he's out of office he still gets SS security coming and going until he expires and he just loves coming to Palm Beach.

Our best outcome for locals (as well as they rest of the country) is if he goes to jail.

[monmouth4]

77. Agree with all you say. Everytime I hear "President" I think of Obama. Never, ever will I think of

this slug as "President." Let's see what fresh hell he brings us today..LOL.

[stillcool]

31. Worth Ave is just up the road

From Trump's place. I don't think any place in PB is too far away from any other....Or is that Lake Worth Ave that was closed?

[monmouth4]

32. Must be Worth, not familiar with Lake Worth Ave..It's the proximity to County Rd which closes for a

while until he's secured inside MAL. Such a damned pain.

[monmouth4]

33. MAL is on County Road which runs across Worth Ave., the reason for the closure until he is secure..n

18. Trump: 'I would rarely leave the White House'

Trump: 'I would rarely leave the White House'

http://thehill.com/blogs/in-the-know/245884-trump-i-would-rarely-leave-the-white-house

“I would rarely leave the White House because there’s so much work to be done,” Trump, 69, tells ITK. "I would not be a president who took vacations. I would not be a president that takes time off.”

----------

Yes, I would live in the White House because it’s the appropriate thing to do,” he says.

[Takket]

20. he was lying. imagine that!

[Pluvious]

25. To be fair to The Groper...

He never anticipated the extreme fatigue that comes from so much winning.

[nolabear]

22. Saw on MSNBC the local small airport is losing $30,000

Per weekend! They have to shut down when he's there since small aircraft can't fly in or out. They're truly afraid of going under.

[TeamPooka]

65. I'll bet they voted for the guy though.

[CreekDog]

74. Palm Beach County voted for Hillary by a 16-point margin

Why bet on the wrong answer when you can just learn the correct answer?

[riversedge]

26. There have been media reports on this the last 2 weeks that I know of. Hope they continue and

we can help by tweeting them around also.

[riversedge]

28. Late Sat. Bannon joined Trump in Florida-to huddle on how to handle Trumps lies about Obama

wiretapping the Towers!! So, this morning we find out that they will handle it by asking for a DOJ investigation into Obama wiretapping, which is Trumps lie!--and they will no longer make any announcements about Trumps lie. We can not let them get away with brushing Trumps vicious lie about Obama under the rug. Contact your senators and Reps and let them know this.

[obamanut2012]

29. He came from PBI during rush hour on Friday afternoon

I-95 and Southern Boulevard (a huge local in WPB area artery) were closed. On Friday afternoon. During rush hour. In SOFL.

That isn't including everything else being messed up locally, including many local businesses well on the way to bankruptcy from this. Even locals who didn't hate him, hate him now.

[monmouth4]

35. Palm Beach is very repub, nowadays, not happy repubs..LOL..n/t

[obamanut2012]

42. hahaha yes

[Doreen]

44. When they bitch just tell them "you voted for this."

[redstateblues]

62. Lots of old money there

[Atman]

34. I've got who lives there and reports the same thing.

She's posted this on FB and said it is absolutely horrible in Palm Beach now. I'm sure Trumpsky doesn't care.

[herding cats]

37. I saw a report yesterday with a man who does helicopter tours.

He said he's about to have to shutter his business thanks to Trump's visits closing the airspace every weekend. He basically said he's going broke.

[monmouth4]

38. How sad is that..nt

[herding cats]

39. It's a tourist based economy, and trump is killing it.

He keeps the people out that are the bread and butter of the industry, and he makes it impossible for those who still have clientele to run their businesses.

These businesses don't have enough cushion to make it until he switches to NY when the weather heats up. They're going to fold before that happens.

[bettyellen]

45. I'm hoping he wants to golf every weekend and stays out of the city...

He's got the club in Bedminster.

[LisaM]

57. He is already hurting US tourism.

Who would want to come here?

[Dan]

40. I'm confused

Didn't Florida vote for him?

[obamanut2012]

43. PBC, Broward, and Miami-Dade are ery heavily blue, so no, we didn't

[smilodon populator]

46. Palm Beach needs renewable energy.

Someone should build a HUUUGGE wind farm on property abutting Mar Arugula, with the biggest turbines currently available. maybe even properties abutting on 2 sides, and if there is an ocean view, there needs to be an offshore wind farm to rival anything in the Baltic or North Seas

[spanone]

47. K&R...

[disalitervisum]

48. DOES. NOT. CARE.

As he has never cared when destroying the lives and businesses of other people for the past thirty-five plus years.

This is the salient point. HE DOES NOT CARE, NOR WILL HE EVER CARE.

[dembotoz]

50. Yep

Never has
Never will

[Turbineguy]

51. A little more patience is required

we're working on moving him.

Would this be OK?

58. He isn't going to care.

He just wants what he wants and .nothing and no one else matters.

He is the most despicable man.

[joe_stampingbull]

59. tell him to buy a dacha in Russia

next to Putin. He can stay there the rest of his term.

[LuckyLib]

61. Here's the story of how he got it. A bully and a sleaze from the very

beginning. Palm Beach folks were buffaloed and now they have no recourse:

Am looking forward to much louder blowback.
