[Right Brother]

So if my neighbor makes me feel unsafe, I can get the city to move them out? Cool! 😎

[Paladin2]

NOT the Bee?

[kiryandil]

The Palm Beach Soviet is really, really concerned about Donald “Immanuel Goldstein” Trump...

[lee martell]

A bunch Old Biddies, over-worrying. Probably RINOs on a mission.

[Paladin2]

They don’t have water ambulances down there?

They could easily afford same.

[dragnet2]

Close down Mar-A-Lago but keep those borders wide open.

[equaviator]

Mar-a-Lago, the squatter’s paradise.

[Sarah Barracuda]

Its HIS house, he can do whatever he damn well pleases with it..its insane to think they will try to take his home its HIS house!

[Rockingham]

As odd as this sounds, there is genuinely felt discontent among the locals with the inconvenience and disruptions caused by security restrictions near Mar-a-Largo, especially when Trump is in residence. A friend of mine, a hard-working, self-made Cuban American lawyer of conservative Republican views, has a house on the Island near Trump. My friend and his wife are aggrieved that they often have to wait to get cleared by security to be able to return to their own home after working all day.

[GMThrust]

If it’s harder for anyone to get in then logic dictates that it is safer for all.

[Paladin2]

Put Trump back in the White House and Problem [largely] solved.

[Flaming Conservative]

How is security at Mar-A-Laga any different than Rehoboth Beach, or any President or former President’s home? This is just idiot politics.

[Paladin2]

A greater concentration of “rich” peeps [who need to be taxed more...., for the Revolution.....].

[glennaro]

Many good people on the Right still don’t understand — or they just don’t want to believe — that we’re in an all-out, hot war with the Democrat/Communist Party-Left and that the survival of our Republic is literally at stake.

[Rockingham]

That’s what I tell my friend.

[No name given]

Nope.

"My friend and his wife are aggrieved that they often have to wait to get cleared by security to be able to return to their own home after working all day."

Then they should move if they are unhappy living in the vicinity of a long-time public figure and President. Trump's owned that property for 39 years, and was already a well-known celebrity at that time, which required him hiring his own security. In the early 90's, when he wanted to divide Mar-a-lago into smaller properties, the residents of Palm Beach went berserk, and the City Council rejected his plan, so he turned it into a private golf club. It seems Palm Beach has a hard-on for Donald Trump.

I highly doubt that using the flimsy excuse of "feeling unsafe" without any actual evidence, in an attempt to close access to a residential, and business property that brings in large amounts of tax revenue to the State, would set well with the Florida Attorney General and Governor, not to mention the Florida courts. There were plenty of people killed at Parkland High School and at the Pulse nightclub in Florida between 2016, while Trump was running for President as he is now, and 2018, while he was in the White House. Were they "feeling unsafe" living near Mar-a-lago then?

[jdege]

Palm Beach has been trying to close Mar-a-Lago ever since Trump opened it up to Gays, Blacks and Jews.

[Rockingham]

I agree on the merits. My friend is having fun being deliberately provocative with me about his inconvenience — but he is muted with his rabidly pro-Trump mother and brother.
