JAKARTA - Unfortunately for Donald Trump. At the end of his term of office that will end, following the inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden on January 20. Various problems suffered.

Riots on Capitol Hill by supporters on Wednesday last week, leaving Trump facing the threat of impeachment a second time. Another problem, Trump will also be rejected by his neighbors after he is no longer president.

Yes, Trump has received opposition from residents of Palm Beach County, Florida, where he has a residence as well as a luxury club, Mar-a-Lago. Bought in 1985 for $ 10 million (at the time), Trump converted the residence to an entertainment club in 1993 with various restrictions. Starting from the number of club members, parking rules, traffic, to restrictions on the period of stay of no more than seven consecutive days and no more than three weeks for one year.

Trump is known to be in trouble often because he does not comply with a number of local regulations. Citizens who are not happy, are even more uncomfortable when Trump took office as US President, where he often came and lived in Mar-a-Lago. Not only is it a private residence, Trump also makes it a winter 'white house'.

Apart from making it the main residence after moving from New York in September 2019. Mar-a-Lago is also used to receive state guests, such as Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and Chinese President Xi Jinping. And, some time ago Melania Trump was also looking for a school for Baron Trump (14). This indicates, perhaps Trump will choose to stay in Palm Beach after leaving the White House.

Neighbor's objection

However, long ago Palm Beach residents objected to the possibility that Trump and his family would live in Mar-a-Lago. They were disturbed by Trump's presence during his four years as president, and at the same time making Mar-a-Lago a private residence.

According to CNN, West Palm Beach-based lawyer Reginald Stambaugh has written to Palm Beach officials that Trump violated the Mar-a-Lago use agreement.

"It is the responsibility of the City Council to correct these errors and restore safety and security to the environment by upholding usage agreements," he wrote.

A number of Trump's Palm Beach neighbors also said they were annoyed and frustrated by Trump's presence in their neighborhood. The issues mentioned are related to increased security, traffic jams to noise violations.

In fact, residents have also highlighted Trump's presence since the last 30 years, where Trump has often violated city regulations, making it like 'oil and water' between him and the citizens. Including the question of the giant flagpole at Mar-a-Lago which has a height of 80 feet. Trump did get a daily fine from the flagpole which led to a reduction in altitude in the end.

Trump's helipad at Mar-a-Lago was challenged and debated for months, before finally getting permission to build it in 2017.

"It's been a circus there for four years. And they're fed up with it. It's a nightmare," said a Palm Beach home owner.

Trump is even more annoying, because he uses Mar-a-Lago as his residential address for the 2020 US Presidential Election. A claim he must prove by living there for six consecutive years.

"There's nothing Palm Beach residents really hate other than the New Yorkers who come and claim to live in Palm Beach, for tax breaks," quipped Larry Leamer, author of 'Mar-a-Lago: Inside the Gates of Power at Donald Trump's Presidential Palace 'who lives in Palm Beach.

Despite many criticism and objections, Mar-a-Lago is said to have continued to clean up and renovate to become the residence of Donald Trump and his family after leaving the White House. The United States Secret Service is known to have arranged and drawn up plans for the protection of Trum and his family in Mar-a-Lago.
