All of a sudden the left is concerned about "small businesses!"

Oh, the FAKE outrage!
So I guess that was a "yes" to the question of you being cool with forcing local businesses out of operations.

Salary job for the bills and longterm savings. Small business to cover the emergencies and fun stuff. Having money is nice.

Trump will probably try to fire them.

It's not like he's Bush Jr and visiting a secluded ranch on ACRES of land. He's right there, in the thick of it, shutting down highways every weekend going and coming.

It's incredibly rude.

Does anyone have a list of who these officials are and more specifics? I am not familiar with the man speaking in the video clip, but "officials" and no real specifics seems to be lacking, of course that is "par for the course" with libs.

So, which cities and officials are being referred to here? I got bored listening to the man in the clip as he didn't seem particularly, well, intelligent.

Liberals: Deal with it. Your ugly schtick is boring and just plain stupid, and it's not going to help you win.
So you don't actually care about people losing their jobs and livelihoods.

Why am I not surprised?

Is your Google broken?

I am not surprised that they didn't name anyone - it would be just like 45's acolytes to start harassing these poor people for daring to speak out about their idol's deleterious behavior.

I've seen reference to the assistant county commissioner for Palm Beach, the sheriff's department and several others.

Surely you can find more specific information is it is that important to you.

And this is yet another hypocritical move by Trump. He claimed to care about American jobs in his campaign, about how he would create bring in thousands of jobs, blah, blah, blah, but he's actually eliminating jobs. He fired a lot of his staff because they were guilty of the crime of working under Obama. That's typical, except he never rehired employees for most of these positions. He enacted a hiring freeze on federal jobs. He is threatening the livelihoods of the people who earn their living in Palm Beach with these frequent vacations. He and Ivanka even use Chinese materials for their goods. And where is that wall and the thousands of workers he was going to hire for it?

Here are a couple of links for your perusing pleasure. Enjoy~

The Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Department and Fire Rescue have spent about $70,000 in overtime and more than $1.7 million to date

Business owners at the airport say they’re losing as much as a combined $15,000 a day every weekend when the president visits Mar-a-Lago.

economic toll now includes at least one flight training contract worth $400,000 being lost as the contractor relocated the operation to an airport in Alabama

Stellar Aviation, Lantana Airport’s FBO, has been taking its biggest financial hit in lost fuel sales

Actually, Obama visited Los Angeles way more than that during his two terms in office. Counting brief layovers for his jaunts to Asia, Hawaiʻi, and other parts of California, he was in Los Angeles about once every three months. Here links to lists of his "official" presidential trips from 2009 through 2016...
