West Palm Beach Business Owners Say They Are 'Going Broke'

With Donny's very frequent week-end trips

"Residents and business owners in West Palm Beach complained over the weekend that President Donald Trump's frequent trips to his Mar-a-Lago resort are making their lives miserable.

NBC News reported that Trump's weekend visits were not only expensive for the taxpayer, but the safety measure implemented by the Secret Service are also costing local business owners big.

"We're basically going broke," a spokesperson for Southern Helicopter told NBC News. "We were not expecting him to come down almost every weekend."

Now they're losing their collective assess every weekend Trump shows up--which so far has been almost ALL of them.

And it's probably annoying to those residents who want to fly their private airplanes on the weekends.

It might actually be a blessing to those residents who don't have to listen to private aircraft and tourist helicopters all weekend. They might get some unexpected peace and quiet.

I wonder if the owner of Southern Helicopter voted for Trump.
