Wealthy Trump Tower residents are fed up with protesters

It’s not so easy being a member of the 1 percent if you live at Trump Tower.

Residents of the sleek Fifth Avenue skyscraper where Trump lives in the penthouse, based his TV show “The Apprentice” and launched his candidacy are having a hard time getting in and out of the building thanks to crowds of supporters, protesters and security.

“They can’t get into their own homes without being stopped and frisked and having to show ID,” said a top broker who is already fielding calls from residents planning to move out.

“These are wealthy people. They don’t need this, and they can’t take it any longer. They no longer want to stay there. Some of them are already planning on moving out, and they’ll decide later whether or not they want to sell,” the broker said.

Trump will be moving to the White House soon as the transition gets under way.

Mrs. Theknow was wondering whether Trump would like taking a step down to living in the White House and Flying AF-1 instead of Trump Tower and Trump-1.

It is sick that these protestors can cause so much disruption.

Got a bunch of video from that area. I will be posting it here over the weekend. It was a very exciting week to be in New York City!

A no-fly zone has been established over all of Manhattan!

...all of Manhattan? Well, no. Here's the actual Temporary Flight Restriction to which he's referring:

These are wealthy people. They don’t need this

LOL. Just like Hillary is a prominent politician so she doesn't need to go to jail. Any wonder why middle America thinks there are two sets of rules?

And 99% of them voted for and funded Hillary Clinton.

Ironic, isn't it?

The NYPD are doing a good job keeping everybody moving along. Access to the tower entrance is restricted and the entire sidewalk on the east side of Fifth is barricaded with only people having business in the area being allowed in. Everybody else is forced to the sidewalk on the west side of Fifth and it is JAMMED with people, mostly curious tourists who are there to take pictures. The NYPD will allow you to stop and take a couple pictures but then they quickly tell you to get moving.

There is a press area there and a "cage" to enclose the protesters that are at least behaving themselves. At least during daytime, anybody becoming unruly are quickly rounded up. Can't speak to what happens at night as I'm back to my "safe space" in suburban CT!

OK, so not all of Manhattan. But much of it.

Mondale's Secret Service detail caused similar problems when he was VP, and had a house in North Oaks (a suburb north of St. Paul, MN).

North Oaks is unusual: it's an entirely private suburb. Even the roads are owned by the homeowner's association. Reportedly, the property lines are down the center of the road.

With large minimum lot sizes and heavily wooded areas, there is no need for fences, as the trees provide all the privacy you need. But, there were trails through the area.

One homeowner was walking on his own property when a Secret Service area suddenly appeared and demanded identification. The homeowner said: "who the hell are you? You're on my property".

The sheriff's office was called (the community contracted with the sheriff to provide security patrols), and after some discussion the matter was dropped. The sheriff's office had a frank talk with the Secret Service, explaining that they couldn't just go wandering into other people's property and threatening them.

[1 percent? I see they are still fanning the flames.]

Yup.

Keep it up, a**holes. Our memories will not be short enough to forget this crap come 2018 and 2020.

This election only scratched the surface of The Movement Revolution. Soon the media will be relegated to the relevancy of the typewriter and VCR.

It's not going to run out of steam until Trump is out of office. It'll ebb and flow of course, and this week is naturally part of the flow.
