"Uproar" among Palm Beach locals "blindsided" by Mar-a-Lago no-fly zone, now "in place 24/7"

Florida residents have been left "blindsided" by a no-fly zone update around Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence.

Though there had been a no-fly zone in place for when Trump was in the residency, the restrictions to air travel are now in place permanently, at least until next October. Officials say the no-fly zone, which now operates 24/7 whether the president is there or not, has caused an increase in noise and soot at residents' homes.

Palm Beach International Airport has been told they must divert flights away from Mar-a-Lago permanently, with the neighborhood in uproar over the effect it's having on their day to day lives. Lori Rozsa of The Washington Post wrote that residents had been "blindsided" by the change, which is to remain in place even when the resort is closed.

Now Trump has his way, at least until October next year, but residents believe it's a flight pattern change that could be permanent. One person said, "This is an opportunity for him to seize what he’s really wanted to do for a very long time. This could be stretched for three years. It could be forever."

...so, yeah. This is not one of those "If only we had KNOWN, this could have been AVOIDED" scenarios.

Most of us still had to work on Wednesday and he made sure to tie up rush hour traffic.
It was a mess.

They basically show locals cheering loudly as Trump heads to or returns from the golf course.

Truly sorry that you have to be in the middle of that.

to get this done. No one on the island or in town liked him or wanted him there. But the biggest pig will squeeze his way into the trough until he gets everything he wants. I think they thought perhaps his election would provide a lot of bacon until they discovered that his meat is rancid and wormy. They should have gone with their first instinct.

He's going to use the East Wing construction as an excuse to move to M-a-L full time. I predict no later than March 1.

This is just preparatory to his move.

With Trump, it's "Always imagine the dumbest and most selfish possible thing, then multiply by two."
