TFRs harm small airports and related businesses without providing any evidence of added security,

I operate an airplane for my small business, I'm a flight instructor and a former airline pilot. I'm based at Essex County airport which is directly impacted by the NJ TFR's. These TFR's are killing small business. Any one who is pro-business should vote against any congressman who will not stand up to Trump and his abuses of power, of which the TFR's are a blatant example.

We need to make TFR only when President is in transit. The rest of the time it’s up to the Secret Service and the facility he is at to secure him.

Actually, these restrictions are for our protection. This man is such an idiot he could blow up his own kitchen, and take out a dozen planes with it.

As a business man in the general aviation sector I am requesting from the Trump administration 100% reimbursement on the amount of business loss due to the TFR,,,,

The frequency is ridiculous and the resulting burden and harm beyond reasonable. Remember Camp David to allow Presidents to get away? We now have TSA Pre to modify screening. Same concept needs to be applied here. At the least during certain times of the day for aircraft to transit out or in. Screening of aircraft or other on ground procedures could be used. Please create and implement a reasonable system to stop the harm or limit the number of times a president can visit the same location.

These TFRs are RIDICULOUS, OVER REACHING and cause economic HARM to general aviation and inconvenience/delay airline passengers.
The TFRs should be modified and those who are in areas subject to them should not be punished because the President wants to golf. He is a PUBLIC SERVANT and killing business and restricting access and use of the airspace system to certificated individuals is not serving The People. TIME TO CHANGE THIS, NOW!

These areas deserve the same consideration as the Washington DC FRZ airports. The recurring PTFRs are destroying small businesses and small public use airports within their boundaries.

While I strongly support President Trump's use of his several homes, the General Aviation businesses in the surrounding areas should not be prohibited from their livelihoods. Please consider ways that allow them to continue flying.

I agree! GA airports shouldn’t be shut down for PTFRs as long as you talk to atc I don’t see any point in them!

TFRs shouldn't be a long term solution. Let's come up with a program and stop hurting small businesses.

These blanket TFRs are unfair to the majority and in this case the everyday pilot.

These restrictions were a knee jerk reaction and place undue financial strain on businesses and serve no effective function. They need to be less restrictive.

It’s very frustrating paying expenses on an airplane we can’t use during the best weather of the year.

The TFRs impacts my my ability to travel for my small business to service our clients by flying to small airports throughout the north east US. The same ‘Marylan-Three rules should be applied to airports impaired by forced closure due to the recurring Presidential TFR

The Presidential TFRs place an undue burden on those of us that live under the TFR. it is bad enough to have the President's fleet fly back and forth, but unbearable to be grounded when they are not flying

This is unacceptable. Pilots should be able to fly in and out of these airports whenever they like. There has got to be a way to allow them to fly without shutting down the airports. Filing flight plans, getting FAA certification/clearance- something. It’s unacceptable that these airports have to be inconvenienced due to the president wanting to play golf.
