Immediately following the shooting at a Trump rally on July 13th, the Secret Service closed South Ocean Boulevard, the road that runs to and from the former president’s beach resort.

However, the mayor of the town it’s located in, Palm Beach, says just closing the road isn’t sufficient, and doesn’t solve the problem of Trump continuing to hold events at Mar-a-Lago.

Mayor Danielle Moore has directed the city council to look into whether it would be possible or even feasible to close Trump’s legendary facility, at least until the road reopens — which the Secret Service has not designated a date for.

There is no construction or anything, the road is just closed for safety reasons.

But even with the road closure and increased checkpoints leading to the club, it has remained open. And that, says Moore, is akin to Trump having his cake and eating it too.

Town officials, it is said, are considering how effective all that increased security is if he’s just going to keep having parties. “You can’t have it both ways, boys and girls,” said Moore. “Either the club’s open or not. In my mind, if the road is closed, the Mar-a-Lago Club is closed.”

The city of Palm Beach told residents that “neither Town Officials nor the Town Council” were involved in the decision to close the road, but that they were trying to work in tandem with the Secret Service to “minimize the impact” of the closure on the rest of the town.

In a statement on July 20th, they said that “The Town plans to pursue legal options to ensure that the road remains open in the absence of the protected person(s) in residence.”

Julie Araskog, a Council member, said that safety concerns weren’t just over the threats that Trump faced. Many of the elderly people that Florida is famous for live in the area, and they’re worried that the closure will affect care services and emergency vehicle access.

“Our residents don’t feel safe right now,” said Araskog.

Meanwhile, the mayor said one resident had told her they’d traveled an hour to make a delivery that normally would’ve taken ten minutes.

And the Town Manager, Kirk Blouin, was pretty direct himself: “We’re at the slowest point that we’re going to be and we’re already seeing the impacts.”

The bottom line is, the city is suffering, and Donald Trump is still holding fundraisers, many of them themed on the assassination attempt — the reason the road is closed in the first place.
