This has residents and business owners in the area concerned about some of the chaos left over from Trump's frequent trips to Palm Beach: protesters, road closures, traffic, enhanced security, funding issues, and the general spectacle of the President of the United States coming to town.
"We're kind of apprehensive, I guess you could say," Nick Strakhov, a Bedminster land-use board member, told Politico. "It's nice to be recognized. But on the other hand, if it gets to be tedious, we might start to complain."
In recent Bedminster Town Hall meetings, concerned citizens have brought the issue to the forefront.
"West Palm Beach is a lot bigger than we are. Those people are a little more affluent than we are. Has there been any thought to that?" resident Jane Schumann told the all-Republican town board in March.

So they flew in all sorts of patterns to slow the arrival of the plane. She was flying from the Canada to Palm Beach. Somehow she saw the Bahamas on her flight.

(1,046 posts)but boy howdy, this president is off the charts in terms of malevolence and an expert at inflicting pain on Americans.
So I don't advocate torching his residence while dancing giddily around it, but I sure do understand the fakkin impulse to do so.
