Donald Trump sues 'malicious' Palm Beach airport for $100 million
By Aaron Smith @AaronSmithCNN January 13, 2015: 3:28 PM ET


Donald Trump has sued Palm Beach County in Florida for $100 million and accused the county-run airport of deliberately sending air traffic over his historic mansion and private club.

Trump specifically called out the local airport director Bruce Pelly for diverting all departing flights over the Mar-a-Lago mansion, to seek revenge over a 20-year-old lawsuit.

"The county's and Bruce Pelly's efforts in this regard are both deliberate and malicious, and motivated by personal animosity towards Donald Trump," reads the lawsuit, which was filed in Palm Beach County Court on Jan. 6.

The lawsuit says Pelly wants to get back at Trump for suing him in 1995 and blocking his plans to expand the airport.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________

So, Donald Trump is suing an airport because...let me get this straight....airplanes fly over his precious house?

Well, then, sign me up. Because I see airplanes fly over my house all the time as well!

Hemorrhoids serve more useful purposes to society than Donald Trump.

That is, the wind's effect on planes, not Trump's wind, pretty much determines what direction planes take off in.

is that he bought that gaudy shithole in 1985, the airport was built in 1936 and has it's main runway facing right at mar-a-lago since then. So, leaning on my many years as nobody, I figure the dumb fuck should have known, based on 30 years of Goddamned air traffic that fucking airplanes are going over top.

I live about, oh, 25 mile from Rochester Int Airport..NY.
Many flights from the three NYC airports that have filed for the RWY 22 ILS approach, or the RNAV RWY 22 approach, for that matter, are vectored over my house.

Also, almost all flights departing RWY 22 and going to the NYC airports are vectored over my house.

I also am on the final approach course and departure routes for Canadian Geese arriving and departing one of the Finger Lakes.
NEVER, EVER look up when geese are about to fly over you !! Once they ARE over you it is safe.

Trump's boasts draw laughs in Scottish parliament
(AP) EDINBURGH, Scotland - He came, he saw, he blustered.

Donald Trump on Wednesday swept into Scotland's parliament to demand the country end plans for an offshore wind farm he fears will spoil the view at his exclusive new $750-million-pound ($1.2-billion) golf resort.

In a typically blunt display, the New York property tycoon told an inquiry into renewable energy to stop the wind power efforts in the country's north.

"Scotland, if you pursue this policy of these monstrous turbines, Scotland will go broke," he said. "They are ugly, they are noisy and they are dangerous. If Scotland does this, Scotland will be in serious trouble and will lose tourism to places like Ireland, and they are laughing at us."

Members of the committee are looking at how achievable the Scottish government's green targets for 2020 are. The plans for 11 200-foot tall wind turbines are part of the government's goal of positioning itself as a leader in renewable energy.

When challenged to produce hard evidence about his claims on the negative impact of turbines, Trump said: "I am the evidence, I am a world class expert in tourism."

The public gallery burst into laughter.

Airport managers don't control air traffic. Air traffic controllers, employees of the FAA, do that, based on prevailing winds, published departure procedures, and other traffic. And private parties suing because they don't like airplanes flying over their houses almost invariably lose.

It's an FAA regulation violation to drop stuff out of airplanes onto people's houses, but it would be tempting to take a chance anyhow, and drop a huge sack of raw sewage into The Donald's swimming pool.
