President Donald Trump’s latest vanity project is set to have special protections after officials named it after him.
The Federal Aviation Administration is proposing special flight restrictions near the Palm Beach airport renamed after the self-obsessed 80-year-old, citing security concerns tied to his nearby Mar-a-Lago residence, Reuters reports.
The agency wants to bar flights within a one-nautical-mile radius and up to 2,000 feet around Mar-a-Lago, which sits close to the airport. The Secret Service requested the restrictions, citing “adverse threat intelligence” and saying the change would “greatly increase the ability to mitigate the persistent risks posed by unauthorized aircraft and unmanned aircraft systems,” according to the FAA.
