So you're running a flight school in Palm Beach....

I imagine they'll get it sorted out - maybe something similar to the way the SFRA or FRZ work in the DC area.

Yeah, you're right. Trump decided to buy that mansion and move there way back in 1985. he did this because he knew that 30+ years later he would beat all the odds to become President, just so he could crush the numerous flight schools that didn't even exist back then!

You have him all figured out..........

I think his comment has more to do with our President's constant gripes with our former President and his travel expenses. Several news agencies from across the spectrum are claiming as high as 3 million dollars a weekend that tax payers spend for our President to "escape" Washington. We have a tax payer funded weekend getaway location for our head of state, Camp David. Not to mention the costs of securing his NYC residence while First Lady and son stay there for the time being.
Regardless of party affiliation, certain luxuries need to be forgone when you are the leading public servant. We, tax payers, provide housing, security, vacation stays, transportation, etc. For security reasons these should be used almost exclusively save the one or two vacations a year. Maybe it is a fluke that our President has made three consecutive trips to South Florida in his short time as President, but for someone who was so critical about misappropriation of tax payer dollars he sure is spending like a drunken sailor.
 
Trump and Palm Beach Department of Airports have a long history together. He couldn't be happier now that he has a TFR (or as the locals are calling it Trump Flight Restriction). There is no reason why he would make any effort to help out local GA especially since the count is already up to 16 TFR busts. However, agricultural associations may have a leg to stand on given the amount of crops there are west of PBI and inside the 30NM area. Most of the country's sugar is grown in the area.

The last one, the next one... Every president travels. That is just the way it is, and most are understanding of that. However for him to campaign and tweet about #44's golf and travel habits and then conduct himself the way he has been... Normal POTUS visits to the area are during campaign season or for a round of golf. 44 had a multi day golf trip, 43 came through town, 42 injured himself at Greg Norman's house. The frequency and proposed regularity of these trips is a bit of a problem. Rumor around town is to expect it every weekend through May. This has really screwed up operations here.

I have moved on from being a full time instructor, but my friends that are and own business in the area are suffering. Some of which have been interviewed and or mentioned in the various articles. Go ahead and try to deflect by mentioning the travels of previous presidents, but it doesn't hold a candle to this debacle.

Not to mention that a large sum of that taxpayer money on those vacations is spent on room and board at Mar-A-Lago, which means Trump profits directly from it.
 
I don't understand why the SS is being so non-responsive about the cut outs. We have them in the NYC area for several airports and it works great.

Right, 'cause that's been simply wonderful for DC. KHEF schools didn't do well with the SFRA, but it's been a few years since I lived there. Maybe things have gotten better.

Yeah, this!

But by all means, try to justify the Orange Vacationer in Chief's actions...any of them. And before you do, know that it would all be fantasy in your mind that he has done anything right, other than things that directly benefit him, his family, his brand or any of his elitist cronies. So yeah, he's MAGA alright. GMAGB Suckers! :rolleyes:

He isn't saying that he's been golfing, but everyone that has been golfing with him has been telling the world about their time on the course. Kind of like Ferris playing hooky and ending up on the jumbo-tron at Wrigley Field.
