Donald Trump‘s neighbors have other things to worry about after the former president’s re-election: annoying traffic. The neighbors of Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Club may now have to wait until after his presidency for road blockages to clear around his estate. According to the Palm Beach Post, the small town “has essentially been cut in half by a closed road” next to the club, and residents are “frustrated.” The road closures began after the July 13 attempted assassination attempt on the former president, and now there may be no end in sight. The outlet spoke to Town Manager Kirk Blouin, who said that the expectation was the barricades would be removed if he lost the election “because the threats would diminish.” Now, it depends on when Trump is home.
