'It upsets people': Mar-a-Lago neighbors said to be 'understandably' mad after Trump win

Hopes by Palm Beach residents that their lives might return to a semblance of normalcy suffered a blow on Tuesday after local man Donald Trump was re-elected president, meaning four more years of disruption as he comes and goes from Mar-a-Lago.

According to a report from the Palm Beach Post, road closures would have lessened if Vice President Kamala Harris had won, but there are worries that weekends and rush hours will once again become a nightmare for people going about their daily lives.

The report from the Post's Kristina Webb notes that there have been ramped-up road closures since the July assassination attempt, and Town Manager Kirk Blouin stated they will remain in effect.

According to the report, "The town of Palm Beach is a vertical barrier island just over 10 miles long with only one north-south road, South Ocean Boulevard, near Mar-a-Lago. So when part of South Ocean Boulevard closes, it upsets many people on the island because it makes it almost impossible to get around."

The closures were previously in place even when he was not in town, but now there are fears of even more restrictions.

"If Trump had lost the election, there was an assumption that the barricades could be removed 'because the threats would diminish,' Blouin said," according to the report. "With his win, the extent of the road closures will depend on how frequently Trump visits Palm Beach," the Post reported before adding, "Blouin said the issue could come up as part of public comment from residents at next week's Town Council meeting."

Speaking with the Post, the local official added, "People are understandably upset. Whether you're a resident, business owner, employee in some fashion or visitors to the town, there's a high probability you're gonna get stuck in traffic, particularly in the morning and evening rush hours."
