This is how Trump acts with power

[petro]

As if Trump abusing his power is a "stupid thing".

Yeah, when you live in a dictatorship maybe you'll change your mind.

Yes.
It's stupid.
There are many places that are off limits to air traffic.
There is no dictatorship, and statements like that only make you the fool.

They didn't move it the first time he was president.

They did, but it seems they did only when he was in residence...

Flight paths change dramatically when Donald Trump is in Palm Beach | Graphic

Trump cleared the skies above Mar-a-Lago. His rich neighbours paid the price

It was 6.05am in October last year when Sterling Hamill was awoken by the unmistakable screech of a plane flying low over his home.

He bought Mar al Lago on the cheap, a big part of that was because of the flight path from Palm Beach airport.

But now Trump has used "national security reasons" to move the flight path, so people who bought properties without the aircraft going overhead, and spending more, now get this.

This is how much Trump cares about other people. He'll use his power to get whatever he wants.

Trump is a criminal and convicted felon, the most corrupt and dishonest president in US history.

And it’s an equally corrupt and dishonest Republican party that allows Trump to abuse his power.

 

[jknowgood]

Probably.

No other president bought a property cheap, and then spent 45 years trying to change that flight path, only to succeed when president.

So, it says a lot about Trump and how he's wielding power in his second term.

Also this thread says a lot about many MAGA people and how they see such things.

Rather than debating this (I'm not talking you here) they just attack me.

You want to check first if any other president did the same? I'm pretty sure no planes fly over Martha's vineyard.

As opposed to people that act with power to force people to keep from working, wear masks, and produce papers that they have been vaccinated while those in charge sit without masks at large gatherings laughing their asses off that they are not held to the same standards.

But now it seems he's got it done for at least a year

"In October 2025, the Secret Service announced it was rerouting all flights to avoid the airspace above Mar-a-Lago for “national security reasons” for a year."

Is there an international airport right in the logical flight path there?

Civilian air travel has always been impacted by concerns for the safety of the president, regardless of who is president.

   How Presidential Visits Affect Domestic Flights at Airports​

   Presidential visits can cause significant disruptions to domestic flights at affected airports, both directly and indirectly, due to the high security and operational requirements.
   
   1. Airspace Restrictions (TFRs)
   When the President is traveling or attending events, the FAA issues a Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) around the area. This can extend from a few miles to 30 miles in radius, and may last hours to a full day virtualhangarmedia.com.
   
   • Commercial flights must reroute around the restricted airspace, which can cause delays or even cancellations if no alternative routes are available Simple Flying+1.
   • Private aviation is also affected; flights near the TFR may be rerouted miles away, adding time and fuel costs virtualhangarmedia.com.
   • Even if the President is not landing at a specific airport, TFRs can impact the entire region’s airspace, as seen when a visit to LaGuardia caused delays across the New York area Simple Flying.
   2. Runway and Terminal Operations
   At the airport where the President lands or is hosted:
   
   • Runway usage may be reduced or limited to essential operations, such as securing the presidential aircraft or handling VIP arrivals Simple Flying.
   • Terminal closures or partial closures can occur to set up security posts, command centers, and passenger screening areas blog.entomologist.net+1.
   • These changes can cut the number of flights that can take off or land in half, as happened at Heathrow during a U.S. presidential visit Simple Flying.
   3. Security Measures
   
   • Exclusion zones and enhanced passenger/baggage screening are implemented, which can slow boarding and cause delays QuartzMountain.
   • Increased law enforcement presence and coordination with military and federal agencies can further slow operations.
   4. Passenger and Flight Impacts
   
   • Delays are common for flights scheduled during the TFR or while the airport is operating under restricted conditions.
   • Cancellations can occur if rerouting is not feasible or if security measures require a full shutdown of certain operations QuartzMountain.
   • Missed connections and overbooked flights are also possible due to cascading delays.
   5. Scale of Impact
   The disruption depends on factors like:
   
   • Distance from the presidential residence or event location.
   • Size and traffic volume of the airport.
   • Prior notice and coordination with airlines.
   • Whether the President is landing or only traveling nearby QuartzMountain.
   In summary: Presidential visits can cause airspace rerouting, runway limitations, terminal closures, and heightened security, all of which can lead to widespread delays and cancellations for domestic flights at affected airports. Even visits outside the airport can have ripple effects across the region’s airspace.

And yet Mar al Lago has not flights now for a year even when the President isn't there.

The orange POS, dropped his lawsuits.

Trump has been a whiny snowflake, since he bought Mar A Lago in 1985.
If he didn't want the noise why did he move in a flight path?

No other person that lives in Palm Beach has ever filed a lawsuit against the airport and some families had their property in the family since the 1920's.

Donald Trump drops airport noise lawsuit against Palm ...​

Palm Beach Daily News
https://www.palmbeachdailynews.com › 2011/08/31
Aug 31, 2011 — Donald Trump has dropped his lawsuit against the county over airport noise, attorneys for Trump said in a letter dated Tuesday.

Trump was prompted to withdraw the lawsuit after Palm Beach International Airport director Bruce Pelly said recently that he would drop his proposals to dismantle both the Citizens Committee on Airport Noise and a system of electronic noise monitors near PBIA, the letter from attorney John B. Marion IV said.

Real estate mogul Trump had filed the lawsuit in July 2010 to stop airport noise over his historic Mar-a-Lago property and to challenge any expansion of PBIA.

Apr 23, 2026 — He dropped the third lawsuit after winning his first term.


Being alive, Trump intends to profit from the change, by licensing DJT — the airport code to replace PBI. Grift is what he does. A Sun Sentinel headline this month read “Trademark licensing a sticking point in Trump airport talks.”


Trump wanted $75 million, claiming that plane noise was damaging the value of his investment. Or the county could move the airport.

Those aircraft mix with commercial flights to aggravate noise issues. Trump flew his noisy jet into PBIA long before becoming president.

Is there an international airport right in the logical flight path there?

Could be, you got New York and Boston airports. How do you know they haven't moved their flight paths. If Obama wanted them to do it, the media would be silent. But they will make stuff up to cry about Trump.

Look at how TDS-infected frigidweirdo is: Since his membership started in 2014, his post history shows that he has used the word "Trump" in 960 individual posts. This doesn't include the times he used the word multiple times in a post, nor does it include the instances he used nicknames like "Drumph" or others.

He has also started 184 individual threads containing the word "Trump" in the title.

Someone seriously needs a hobby.

Or counseling.

These idiots live in perpetual state of anxiety, fear, and outrage.

Must be exhausting.

Exhausting for them, and tiring for everyone else.

But at least Donald is getting plenty of free publicity. He probably likes that.

Restricted air spaces all over the country are restricted for long-established reasons.
