Plane flies over Mar-a-Lago with ‘Worst President Ever’ banner

Trump has relocated to Florida since leaving office

Donald J. Trump is no longer the sitting president of the United States and to commemorate that fact, a plane was reportedly spotted flying over Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach this weekend with a message about what many believe his legacy will be.

According to TMZ, Sunday, a banner was flown over the Mar-a-Lago that read, “TRUMP WORST PRESIDENT EVER,”  while another exclaimed, “TRUMP YOU PATHETIC LOSER GO BACK TO MOSCOW.”

Last Wednesday, while the country celebrated the Inauguration of Joe Biden, the outgoing president and his wife Melania took their last flight aboard Air Force One. They made their way to the Mar-a-Lago just hours before Biden was sworn in as the 46th President of the United States.

This comes as no surprise given that back in November 2019 Trump confirmed he was changing his legal residence from New York to Florida. 

“They haven’t treated me properly, I pay millions of taxes,” he explained, per ABC News at the time. “Millions and millions of dollars in New York and they’ve never treated me, you know, since I became president, they just haven’t treated, I think the office with the kind of respect.”

But now that Trump has returned to Florida he’s reportedly received a cold reception, with several Mar-a-Lago members reportedly leaving the club due to the controversy surrounding his administration.

“It’s a very dispirited place,” Laurence Leamer, historian and author of “Mar-a-Lago: Inside the Gates of Power at Donald Trump’s Presidential Palace,” told MSNBC host Alex Witt on Weekends with Alex Witt Saturday. 

Leamer also noted that he spoke to a number of former members who “silently walked out” after Trump left office but there are also some members who are “not concerned about politics” and are instead upset because “the food is no good.”
