The Mayor of Palm Beach is considering shutting down Mar-a-Lago and kicking Trump out of his own house
“In my mind, if the road is closed, the Mar-a-Lago Club is closed… You can’t have it both ways, boys and girls” – Mayor Danielle Moore
After the attempt on Trump’s life in Butler on July 13th, Secret Service increased personnel around the property and closed South Ocean Boulevard, the road running along Mar-a-Lago. Police say “at a minimum” the closure will last through Election Day. Now the mayor wants to use the road’s closure as an opportunity to close Mar-a-Lago as well
Local residents also say they don’t feel safe because of the new checkpoints added by the Secret Service, “Our residents don’t feel safe right now,” Council Member Julie Araskog said.
She has now directed the Town Council to research whether it could close Mar-a-Lago until the road reopens
