The banner was visible over the club in Palm Beach, Florida, minutes before its defense team started presenting its arguments to the Senate, according to CNN.
During this presentation, Trump’s lawyer, Michael van der Veen, referred to the House’s only impeachment article on the president’s role in the January 6 Capitol riot as “an unjust and blatantly unconstitutional act of political revenge”.
This is not the first time Trump has been cheated during his short residency at Mar-a-Lago since leaving office. During his first weekend as a private citizen, banners in the sky calling the former president a “pathetic loser” and “the worst president of all time” flew close to his Florida home.
