Frankly, if they were GOOD businesspeople, they would've foreseen (or at least allowed for the contingency) that Trump would establish a base camp somewhere. Sounds like bellyaching from someone who didn't plan ahead...

Nice retarded strawman argument.

Were you personally losing $15k a day when Obama was in Chicago? Do you think that perhaps there may be a not-so-slight difference between the economic impact of Obama's trips to Chicago for you as compared to Trump's trips to Florida for the owner of the aviation company referenced above?

When you try to please everyone you please no one. Once again, you've missed my point. Sounds like the fake news media are sensationalizing a couple residents and business owners complaining about Trump being in Mar-a-lago. Whoop-t-fuckin-doo.

Presidential visits are always a pain in the ***.

I love this. Also a good argument when business owners complain about rising taxes or labor costs.

If the liberals are in power, look for taxes to go up, government spending to go up, investment in environmental alarmists to go up, and minimum wage to go up.

It isn't rocket science. Some of us made a lot of money in the stock market since Trump was elected simply by knowing where to shift investments...

Small businesspeople are ALWAYS the losers whenever something changes in government (no matter who is in power). They typically can't shift their priorities or business models to take advantage of the change in power. If you sell helicopter charters, you can't suddenly decide to cater presidential brunches...

Wait, I thought they were bellyachers who didn't plan ahead?

"Bellyaching" is the pointless complaining and media posturing. They simply had no contingency plan (admittedly for a seeming longshot, assuming you believed the media). Are other helicopter charters complaining? Or are they buckling down and figuring out how to profit or prosper by adjusting their plans?

Which is it?

Is the helicopter charter company a victim of government change who can't shift to take advantage of the change or bellyachers without a contingency plan?

Why can't the company be both?

I doubt ALL helicopter charters are affected by Presidential weekend vacays.
