'Taste of his own medicine': Plane flew ‘Ha Ha Ha' banner over Trump's Mar-a-Lago home


USA TODAY


A Florida man on Wednesday commissioned a plane to pull a sky banner with the message "Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha" and fly over Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago home as supporters of the former president rallied outside to protest of this week's FBI search of the home.


Miami resident Thomas Kennedy told USA TODAY Thursday that he and a handful of friends paid $1,800 to fly the banner for four hours Wednesday near Trump's estate in Palm Beach.


"We thought it would be funny," Kennedy, a self-professed Trump critic and Democratic activist said. "From our perspective, Trump is a bully and we wanted to give him a taste of his own medicine."


"We got a little message flying over Mar-a-Lago for Trump and the losers gathered there," he posted on Twitter as the plane soared above him in the sky.


Kennedy, 31, said the message was for both Trump and his supporters who had gathered near the estate for a third day this week.


"My message to them would be do something better with your time," Kennedy, a Democratic National Committee member from Florida said. "I would do it again. One hundred percent."


On Monday, agents searched Trump's residence and his safe in what sources familiar with the matter have told USA TODAY is an investigation related to Trump's removal of classified documents from the White House when he left office.


Officials said Trump stored the records at Mar-a-Lago for up to a year, a potentially serious violation of the law if the records were classified.


Trump has denounced the investigation saying he was entitled to take the records and called the action part of a "witch hunt." However, Trump appointed current FBI Director Christopher Wray during his presidency.



Trump critics fly $1,800 banner that said 'HA HA HA' to 'mock' protestors at Mar-a-Lago residence following FBI raid


BUSINESS INSIDER


A banner with the words "HA HA HA HA HA HA" floated over former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago home and resort Wednesday to "mock" protestors upset about Trump's legal trouble. 


Earlier this week, the FBI searched Trump's home in Palm Beach, Florida, gathering about 12 boxes worth of documents from his residence in a historic raid.  The search is unprecedented and came after the former president refused a DOJ subpoena to turn over classified documents from his presidency.


Trump supporters have gone into an uproar over the raid — threatening those who made the decision, protesting outside of the Mar-a-Lago resort and the FBI, and pushing for war. 


But Thomas Kennedy, a Miami organizer and Trump critic, told local South Florida outlet WTVJ that he and some friends purchased a banner for $1,800 to "ridicule and mock" the MAGA fans.


The banner flew above the Florida estate for approximately three hours.


Kennedy told Insider that he thought Trump was a "bully."


"He's somebody that has made fun of women, disabled people, vulnerable people throughout his whole career and when he was president as well," Kennedy said.


"So we just thought that, you know, just give him a taste of his own medicine, laugh at him a little bit, have some fun and just celebrate that even a president can face accountability if he engages in enough criminal behavior — at least some measure of accountability," he added.


To the MAGA protestors who've rallied outside of the Palm Beach estate, Kennedy suggested: "Do something better with your time."
