Trump supporters have been protesting against the FBI’s raid of the former president’s residence.
A group of Trump critics flew a banner over the protestors at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home.
The banner floated overhead with the words “HA HA HA HA HA HA” appearing.
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.”
