Can someone please schedule some extended maintenance on the big blue birds to save those people in Florida as well as my wallet.
I liked Obama. Still do. But, if he'd done this, I would have called him out.

It's just inappropriate.

Liberals: Deal with it. Your ugly schtick is boring and just plain stupid, and it's not going to help you win.
That's a huge leap you just made. Surely some of the people (probably a majority of them, considering Florida went for Trump) whose businesses are being affected are NOT liberals.

Do you not care about conservatives and their bank accounts?

As for Trump, he has yet to venture west of Tennessee since getting elected...

Let's allow Trump to head to Florida once every 3 months. I'd be totally fine with that.

He can go someplace else the other times he travels.

Then, that won't work, either. This helipad is just a convenience for Trump, not a way to avoid disruptions.

....and who pays for that helipad and who benefits from it after their presidency?

Nope. Personally, I'm all FOR Trump pissing off republicans in general, and republican Florida voters in particular.

Me, too, actually. But, BellaMia seems to think that only liberals are affected by this.

I think that more conservatives are affected.

Not sure where he'd have to pick it up to fly in, but it seems more logical than this motorcade, businesses blocked off, and extra police presence every weekend.

Is that resort even large enough for this? I mean, I don't know how many golf courses it has, but we all have to make sacrifices.
I went to a wedding there a few years ago. There is a huge "lawn" area (hard to describe it as a lawn since it really is so huge). It is right there on the water, though, so not sure they would rip up the landscaping for it.

I don't remember seeing one but I'm actually surprised if they don't already have one. It already isn't that easy to get to by road.

They didn't have one because the city wouldn't allow it. The new pad was allowed only to be used for official presidential business and can not be used after Trumps term ends.
