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 hes really wanted to do for a very long time. This could be stretched for three years. It could be forever."

It was a mess.

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

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.

(6,943 posts)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."
