Donald
Trump's transition from a flashy businessman and reality TV star to the
President of the United States is keeping the security services busy.
A
no-fly zone was imposed over his home and workplace, Trump Tower, on Fifth
Avenue in New York on November 9.
The
Federal Aviation Administration edict bans any aircraft in a two mile radius
within 3,000ft of the 58-story building, which was the setting of the NBC
television show The Apprentice and is not only Trump's main residence but is
also a tourist hotspot.
he
flight ban will re-route many helicopter tours of the city, limit the work of
media helicopters as well as re-routing commercial aircraft. Drones are also
banned
Military,
police emergency and secret service flights are exempt from the ban.
Mashable reports that the change could cause flight delays out
of LaGuardia Airport.
Flights
are also limited over Vice President Mike Pence's Indianapolis home.
The
no-fly zone will be in play until Trump's inauguration on Friday 20 January,
2017, when he will move into the White House.
Meanwhile,
on the ground, police officers have helped to install concrete barriers around
the Tower.
A
row of sanitation trucks filled with sand have been acting as barricades along
Fifth Avenue between 56th and 57th streets since Monday in order to protect the
tower against car bombs.
A no-fly
zone has been imposed around Trump Tower, on Fifth Avenue, New York
Sources said one
lane of traffic that passes the Tower is expected to remain closed to prevent
car bomb attacks.
An NYPD checkpoint
is also in operation outside the building while 56th street between Fifth
and Madison is closed to traffic.
On Thursday,
heavily-armed officers could be seen around the president-elect's home while
Trump himself visited the White House.
Trump and Melania,
departed from LaGuardia airport in New York at 9.36am on his personal aircraft
and arrived at Ronald Reagan National Airport just after 10.30am.
Following the
meeting, Obama said that he had an 'excellent conversation' with Trump.
Trump's son-in-law,
Jared Kushner, owner of the New York Observer and a senior adviser to the
president-elect's campaign, was also in tow.
People who work and
live inside Trump Tower will also now be vetted by the Secret Service,
the New York Daily News reports.
And elevator routes
will also be altered to stop people accessing Trump's personal floors.
'Obviously, Trump
Tower is not like a house in the suburbs or the country. It's a tourist
location, with businesses and apartments inside, people coming in and out at
all hours,' a source told the New York Daily News.
The glass building
is one of New York's most visited attractions since its completion in
1983.
If Hillary Clinton
had won the election, these additional security
measures would not have been needed as her Chappaqua home is already deemed
safe from when it acted as a presidential home for husband Bill.
Trump first received
a Secret Service detail after requesting one in November 2015.
Clinton already had
protection because of her status as a former first lady.
When Trump and his
family move into The White House in January, 10-year-old Barron Trump will be
the youngest presidential son to reside in the executive mansion since John F.
Kennedy, Jr.
The White House has
been home to only presidential daughters since JFK, Jr., whose father was
assassinated just before his 3rd birthday in 1963.
Kennedy's son broke
a long drought of boys living in The White House. He was the first since
Quentin and Archie Roosevelt lived there beginning in 1901.
Outside Trump Tower
on Thursday, protesters gathered with signs reading 'Dump Trump'.
At least 30 people
were arrested when cops cracked down on twin demonstrations in Columbus Circle
and at Trump Tower.
As many as 7,500
protesters were believed to have been split between the two locations, chanting
'Black Lives Matter' and 'Donald Trump, go away, racist, sexist, anti-gay.'
Cher and Madonna
were among the NYC protesters, with Cher telling one supporter they needed to
'fight.'
It wasn't just New
York that saw violence break out overnight. Tens of thousands of people across
the country marched against the President-elect before angry mobs attacked
police, started fires and shut down highways.
The streets of
downtown Oakland in California were choked with smoke Thursday as police
launched tear gas and protesters lit fires, in what became by some distance the
most violent of the many protests.
More than 6,000
protesters were seen on the streets of Oakland with an initially peaceful march
down a cop-lined street turning nasty after some protesters threw bottles at
officers and torched a police car. An office block was also attacked, daubed
with 'f*** Trump' and 'kill Trump' graffiti and then set alight.
And thousands more
filled streets in Los Angeles before taking over the 110 Freeway while other
protesters gathered outside City Hall, lighting fires and waving Trump heads on
sticks. There were 14 arrests.
Trump's poll-defying
win has sparked a wave of similar rallies in Chicago, Illinois; Portland,
Oregon; and San Francisco, California, among many others.
Outside the White
House, a candlelit vigil was being held in protest against Mr Trump's
inflammatory and divisive brand of politics. But even peaceful protests in that
city went awry, with at least one protester being bundled into the back of a
van by the Secret Service.
In another step
towards Trump taking office, his transition team has launched a new website and
Twitter account for him.
Visitors to
greatagain.gov can find information on Trump's polices as well as biographical
information about the Republican.
The website also
includes a notice that it's looking to fill 4,000 slots for presidential
appointees, but doesn't have instructions on how to apply for positions.
The transition
team's Twitter account, @transition2017, posted its first tweet Wednesday
night. It reads: 'Working together, we will begin the urgent task of rebuilding
our nation and renewing the American dream.'
New Jersey Gov.
Chris Christie is leading Trump's transition team.
