Frustration is soaring at Palm Beach County airport as Trump hogs everybody's airspace
PALM BEACH, Fla. — President Donald Trump is wreaking havoc on local businesses and wealthy aircraft owners who rely on the regional airports surrounding Mar-a-Lago, or what the president calls the "Southern White House."
Trump will host Chinese President Xi Jinping here beginning Thursday, creating what could be the longest air traffic shutdown around his resort ever. It's hoped that the two world leaders will use the opportunity to hash out their differences on several global topics, but the business owners and executives who use this air hub, known locally as Lantana Airport, are losing patience and money because of Trump's frequent visits.
They want to hash out their differences with the Secret Service.
When Trump visits, the Secret Service issues a Temporary Flight Restriction before his arrival. That essentially shuts down the airport for the duration of his stay.
This will be the seventh weekend Trump has stayed at Mar-a-Lago since his January inauguration. Aviation businesses run out of Lantana must come to a complete halt, planes are grounded and operations cease. The regional airport is 5 nautical miles south of Mar-a-Lago — which puts it right in the middle of the 10-mile no-fly ring.

That's what those who depend on this airport are afraid of... 
Sounds like that number is growing exponentially every single day.
I stayed on a residential street very like my street here in NE NY, except with better weather... 
They had the Olympics there and there's lots of skiing. And it's also quite remote, the mountain areas near there can get snowed in during the winter. 
It was almost a dead heat, 49.1% vs. 47.8%. Looks like a lot of Floridians didn't like him to begin with. And he's rapidly alienating the other 50% - along with most of the rest of the country. Just so far, he's managed to do so many rotten things, and everyone will be affected sooner or later. And he isn't slowing down! It boggles the mind! 
I hope he alienates everyone. Vote them out and lock them up
Whoever coined the term "loose cannon" must have envisioned Trump! Every day there's something new and even worse! It was the "low information voters" who elected him, but a lot of people are waking up because sooner or later his systematic destruction of everything in this country is affecting them...
It's unbelievable that in this country a presidential election could be invalid, but it's looking more and more like that's the case. And it's really the only thing that makes sense. I still find it beyond my comprehension that anyone who was conscious for the past year or two could support this self important ignoramus and getting to the bottom of how this happened is one of the most important things we've ever done. The future of the country depends on it. .
