This is very stupid, people have jobs and places to be, plus he is using our tax money for his leisure

Let’s apply a proven concept to NJ and help ease the pain on local airports!

Love DT but these TFRs are killing aviation in a very strong GA area.

If it is a proven working model in other areas, please incorporate it in this area ASAP!

North Jersey and Central Florida are bearing a tremendous burden when the President visits his golf courses. Private aviation and the airports that serve pilots are severely impaired by forced closure. I support legislation extending the ‘Maryland-Three’ rules to airports under a recurring Presidential TFR. Allow law-abiding/screened pilots access to their airplanes and airports using rules and program that already exists and has proven safe and effective. That program has allowed the three DC area airports to continue operating and providing public air transportation. Modern communications will allow future Presidents to spend more time away from DC, other regions will be affected; this is a solution for all of General Aviation. I support General Aviation!

Keep General Aviation alive!! Please Stop shutting down the airspace from law abiding Americans who pay taxes to support the federal government!

I am confident that there is a way to ensure the president's safety without this much of a burden to our airport, businesses and citizens.

I got my MD3 clearance years ago, would love to be able to use it at SMQ or at any other airport under a Presidential TFR.

You no longer need to go to DC or Baltimore to be fingerprinted. I was able get fingerprints via my local Police Department and fill out the paperwork online--not difficult.

The flight instructors suffer great financial hardship for weeks at a time when the TFR is in place. Student cannot train. There has to be a solution to this!

There are numerous other resorts and "getaways" that could be used without clogging up some of the busiest airspace in the nation. Mr. Trump can make a more considerate choice. The question is, does he have a clue?

There is surely a better solution to presidential security. Please keep trying for one that enables us to fly without undue procedural hassle.

We must work toward a solution before another summer comes.

I've been through the "Maryland-Three" security screening process for College Park. The hardest part was going to Regan International for the fingerprinting.

I support the president visiting his home in Bedminster and Palm Beach on weekends. This is far superior than trying to secure his old home in NYC. I also realize these are not just weekend golf outings but just him doing his job in a more relaxed environment which would be more effective to many aspects of state. But the inconvenience for general aviation can be impactful. There has to be a way to have pilots pre-screened for security, and allowed to still fly in the now shut down TFR areas.
