'Ha Ha Ha': Trump's Mar-A-Lago Taunted With Banner Flown Over Estate
A Trump critic paid to have a banner with the words "Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha" flown over Mar-a-Lago after the FBI raided the estate.

PALM BEACH, FL — In the wake of an FBI search at Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Club earlier this week, a Miami man paid to fly a banner that read “Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha” Wednesday over the former president’s South Florida estate, Fox 13 reported.
“It brought me a lot of joy to do so,” Thomas Kennedy, who helped pay for the banner, told NBC 6. “I would do it again.”
Federal agents raided Mar-a-Lago Monday evening to search for more than a dozen boxes of classified records that Trump allegedly took from the White House.

Days later, Trump refused to answer questions under oath in New York City as part of a civil investigation into his business dealings Wednesday, claiming his Fifth Amendment rights.
Kennedy said it cost about $1,800 to fly the banner over Trump’s Palm Beach property as his supporters stood outside holding flags and banners.
In an Instagram post, Kennedy wrote, “We got a little message flying over Mar-a-Lago for Trump and the losers gathered there.”
He added, in a second post, “This is how you treat wannabe authoritarians like Trump. You ridicule and mock them.”
This isn’t the first time critics have flown a banner over Trump’s estate.
Banners that read, “Trump worst president ever” and “Trump you pathetic loser go back to Moscow” were seen flying over Mar-a-Lago in January 2021, according to Business Insider.
In February 2021, another plane flew over the club with the message, “Convict Trump and lock him up,” Huffington Post reported.
