Trump's Constant Mar-A-Lago Vacations Annoying Locals

WHILE PRESIDENT OBAMA WAS PRESIDENT, HE GOT A LOT OF
CRITICISM FROM PEOPLE LIKE DONALD TRUMP FOR VACATIONING
TOO MUCH AND SPENDING TOO MUCH TAXPAYER MONEY ON HIS TRIPS.
WELL, AN INTERESTING SITUATION HAS COME UP INVOLVING ARE
NOW PRESIDENT TRUMP AND HIS CONSTANT TRIPS TO MAR-A-LAGO
WHICH HE REFERS TO AS HIS WINTER WHITE HOUSE.
EVERY SINGLE WEEKEND SINCE HE GOT SWORN AND HE'S GONE
THERE AND IT HAS ACTUALLY HAD A NEGATIVE ECONOMIC IMPACT ON
BUSINESSES IN THE AREA.
PALM BEACH FLORIDA DOES HAVE SOME BUSINESSES, MANY OF
WHICH ARE ACTUALLY LOCATED AT THE MAINLAND AIRPORT THERE.
LET ME GIVE YOU THE DETAILS.
BECAUSE OF PRESIDENT TRUMPS TRIPS THERE,
THEY HAVE TO SHUT DOWN PARTS OF THE CITY AND AS A RESULT,
THE CITY HAS LOST 200,000 AND LOST FUEL SALES AT A LOCAL
AIRPORT IN A SINGLE FOUR-DAY VISIT THIS MONTH.
AND HEíS VISITED THREE TIMES, MAYBE FOUR TIMES AS LAST
WEEKEND.
75 NO-SHOWS AND A NEW RESTAURANT IN JUST ONE NIGHT,
$60,000 A DAY TO PAY OVERTIME TO SHARE STEFAN VIEWS WHO GOT
THE MANY CLOSED ROADS THAT HAVE THAT IS ABOUT 1.5
MILLION OVERALL SINCE THE ELECTION AND ALSO 250
PRIVATE FLIGHTS GROUNDED EVERY DAY.
WHAT IS HAPPENING?
WHERE PEOPLE MISSING OUT ON MONEY, WHETHER BUSINESS IS
SUFFERING?
SECRET SERVICE RULES RESTRICTING PRIVATE FLIGHTS OF GROUND
OPERATIONS AT PALM BEACH COUNTY AIRPORT AND LATONYA WERE MOST
OF THE BUSINESS IS CONDUCTED ON SATURDAY AND SUNDAY.
THAT MEANS NO PARACHUTE JUMPING, BANNER ADVERTISING FLIGHT
LESSONS OR CHOPPER TRIPS.
ONE BUSINESS OWNER SAYS WE NEVER DREAMED THAT HE'D BE HERE
EVERY WEEKEND, THAT'S THE KILLER TIME GETTING CUSTOMERS THAT
A BEEN WITH ME FOR YEARS, AND THEY'RE ACTUALLY MOVING
THEIR AIRCRAFT TO OTHER AIRPORTS THAT THEY CAN FLY.
ANOTHER BUSINESS OWNER SAYS IT'S A VERY BUSY AIRPORT WITH A
LOT OF SMALL BUSINESSMEN, BY THE WAY, THIS IS NOT A BUSINESS
OWNER THIS IS THE PALM BEACH COUNTY AIRPORT DIRECTOR.
HE SAYS IT'S A VERY BUSINESS AIRPORT WITH A LOT OF SMALL
BUSINESSMEN TRYING TO MAKE A LIVING.
YOU HAVE FLIGHT TRAINING, AERONAUTICS, PROPELLER
SHOP, PAY SHOPS, MAINTENANCE COMPANIES.
YOU HAVE ALL KINDS OF BUSINESSES GOING DOWN THERE.
ALSO, ACCORDING TO REPORTS, PRESIDENT TRUMPS WEEKEND
VACATIONS TO HIS PRIVATE CLUB IN FLORIDA HAVE COST TAXPAYERS
ALMOST AS MUCH IN A MONTH AS PRESIDENT OBAMA'S ENTIRE
TRAVEL SPENDING FOR A YEAR.
TRUMP HAS ALREADY SPENT $11.3 MILLION IN TAXPAYER DOLLARS
AND OBAMA HAD SPENT ABOUT $12 MILLION A YEAR IN HIS TRAVEL.
IT IS A VERY FASCINATING.
THAT IS TRUMP TRAVEL EXPENSES.
THAT IS NOT THE COST TO SECURE MELANIAíS RESIDENCE OR INCLUDING
THE COST TO SEND HIS SONS ON BUSINESS TRIPS AROUND THE GLOBE
TO GOLF DOWN TO SOUTH AMERICA WHICH IS BEEN HAPPENING.
EACH OF THOSE COST HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS.
LOOK, WE'RE NOT CRAZY PEOPLE.
WE KNOW THAT
PRESIDENTS WILL TAKE TRIPS AND THOSE TRIPS HAVE EFFECTS.
WHEN OBAMA VISITED LA MULTIPLE TIMES, THAT CAUSES PROBLEMS.
I DON'T KNOW IF IT WAS THE CAUSE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS WORTH OF
PROBLEMS BUT IT CAUSED SOME PROBLEMS.
WHEN HE GOES TO
MARTHA'S VINEYARD OR WHATEVER, WHEN BILL CLINTON WOULD GO
TO MARTHA'S VINEYARD, IT COST SOMETHING.
ALL THE TRIPS DO.
WE'RE NOT SAYING THAT PRESIDENTS CAN'T TAKE TRIPS.
OBVIOUSLY THEY'RE GOING TO DO THAT BUT DUDE STARTED ON
DAY ONE AND HASN'T STOPPED AND THIS IS A GUY BY THE WAY
WHO SPECIFICALLY CRITICIZED OBAMA FOR THAT CONSTANT
VACATIONS, SAID THAT HE WOULD NOT TAKE VACATIONS AND THE
SPECIFICALLY CRITICIZED OBAMA FOR PLAYING TOO MUCH GOLF.
THE GUY HAS PLAYED GOLF FIVE OR SIX TIMES IN THE LAST MONTH
WHICH IS MORE THAN I PLAYED IN MY WHOLE LIFE.
IT IS ABOUT A BALANCE AND THIS GUY HAS STARTED OFF
IMMEDIATELY EXCEEDING WHAT OBAMA WAS DOING.
WE JUST WANT TO BE REASONABLE.
EVERYONE WHETHER YOU ARE A CHUM SUPPORT OR NOT SHOULD BE
ABLE TO GET BEHIND THAT THE
BY THE WAY, JUST TO REVIEW A FENG SHUI FROM 2012,
TRUMPETED THIS ABOUT OBAMA: PRESIDENT OBAMA'S VACATION
ITíS COSTING TAXPAYERS MILLIONS OF DOLLARS, UNBELIEVABLE.
QUITE SO MAYBE YOU BELIEVE THAT NOW.
HERE'S THE REALITY OF WHAT IS HAPPENING.
PRESIDENTS NEED TO TRAVEL.
OF COURSE TAXPAYERS FOOT THE BILL SPECIALLY WHEN IT
COMES TO SECURITY AND SECRET SERVICE.
WITH THAT SAID THOUGH, WHY DOES DONALD TRUMP GO TO MAR-A-
LAGO EVERY SINGLE WEEKEND?
WHY DID HE ALSO SIMULTANEOUSLY INCREASE THE ANNUAL FEE FROM
$100,000-$200,000?
FIRST OF ALL, HE IS STILL PROFITING FROM THAT BUSINESS
AND HE KEEPS ADVERTISING IN EVERY PRESS CONFERENCE THAT HE
DOES COME EVERY PRESS CONFERENCE THAT SEAN SPICER DOES.
TRUMP IS GOING TO BE AT HIS WINTER WHITE HOUSE, MAR-A-
LAGO, MAR-A-LAGO.
CONSTANT COMMERCIALS FOR MARA LAGO WORKSHOP IS
FINANCIALLY BENEFITING AND WHERE HE MAKES IT ABUNDANTLY
CLEAR THAT HE IS GOING TO BE THERE EVERY WEEKEND SO IF
YOU WANT ACCESS, MAKE SURE YOU PAY THAT $200,000 ANNUAL FEE.
IS WRONG ALL AROUND.
IF HE WAS JUST TAKING RANDOM VACATIONS
EVERY WEEKEND THAT WOULD BE BAD BUT THIS MAKES IT WORSE BECAUSE
IT IS ABOUT CORRUPTION, FINANCIAL PROFIT.
IT MAKES
ME SICK TO KNOW THAT THIS IS HAPPENING.
DOESN'T SEEM LIKE ANYTHING IS GOING TO BE DONE ABOUT IT THE
TO REASONABLE REGULAR PEOPLE IT WOULD SEEM LIKE YOU
FINALLY AFTER YOUR LONG LIFE, YOU BECOME PRESIDENT, YOU
ARE THE MOST POWERFUL PERSON IN THE COUNTRY.
POSSIBLY THE MOST POWERFUL PERSON IN THE ENTIRE WORLD
THAT YOU HAVE ALL THESE ISSUES YOU WANT TO WORK ON AND
IMMEDIATELY YOU ARE TAKING VACATIONS EVERY SINGLE WEEKEND.
SEEMS LIKE, WAIT A LITTLE WHILE THAT WORK FOR TWO MONTHS
AND TAKE A GOLF TRIP AND I DON'T THINK ANYONE WOULD HAVE A
PROBLEM WITH IT.
BE REASONABLE TO NEVER SINGLE WEEKEND.
THEY ARE PITCHING MARA LAGO AS THE WINTER WHITE HOUSE.
WE DO MOST OF OUR WORK IN DC BUT THEN WE GO DOWN THERE AND IT IS
CORRUPT IN ALL THE WAYS THAT AN APPOINTED OUT BUT AT SOME POINT
IT BECOMES ABUNDANTLY CLEAR THAT HE PREFERS BEING OUT THERE.
WE SHOULD CALL WASHINGTON DC HAS SUMMER WHITE HOUSE THAT HE
OCCASIONALLY VISITS AND GET SOMETHING DONE EVERY ONCE
IN A WHILE.
ALSO THERE HASN'T BEEN MUCH CONSIDERATION OR CONCERN
FOR THE SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS WHO HAVE BEEN DISRUPTED AS
A RESULT OF HIS TRAVEL TOMORROW LAGO.
IS HE GOING TO DO ANYTHING TO ENSURE THAT THEIR
BUSINESSES DON'T SHUT DOWN?
ESPECIALLY IF THEIR BUSINESSES RELY ON PEOPLE WHO COME
DURING THE WEEKENDS.
JOHN AT THE MILLER STELLAR AVIATION GROUP SAYS HE IS LESS
$30,000 ON EACH ONE OF THOSE TRIPS.
CHUM SAYS HE CARES ABOUT THE LITTLE BUSINESSMAN, MAYBE,
OKAY FIND OUT YOU CAN STOP YOUR TRIP THEN PAY THE GUY THAT
$30,000 IF YOU ACTUALLY CARE ABOUT SMALL BUSINESSMEN.
CAN YOU IMAGINE IF YOU RAN A SMALL BUSINESS AND ONCE YOU LOST
$30,000?
CAN YOU IMAGINE WHAT THAT WOULD DO TO YOU?
BUT THEN EVERY WEEK, WE CAN AFTER WEEKEND HAPPENS AGAIN
AND AGAIN.
IF YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE THE WOMAN AT THE CRUZ SANDERS
DEBATE.
I WANT TO HIRE MORE PEOPLE BUT THEY SEE A
HIGHER SUBSIDY FROM THAT.
THAT'S OKAY, WE CARE ABOUT THEIR CONCERNS.
HAVE JONATHAN MILLER AT THE NEXT DEBATE THAT TRUMP DOESN'T
HAVE HIM ASK WHY IS IT THAT I SHOULD PAY TENS OF
THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS YOU CAN EAT FANCY MAHI-MAHI AND PLAY
GOLF EVERY SINGLE WEEKEND MISTER PRESIDENT?
