By Jose Lambiet In Palm Beach Florida For Dailymail.comJust days after intelligence experts criticized President Donald Trump for preparing his response to the firing of a test missile by North Korea while dining among members of his private Palm Beach club, the club will be closed to its members through this weekend, DailyMail.com has learned.
Two members – who paid $100,000 to join the beach side club and plunk down $15,000 a year in dues – said they are angry after being told they wouldn't be let in tonight and Saturday night as Trump visits for the third weekend in a row.
'We are pi**ed off to no end,' said one of the Mar-a-Lago members who asked that his name not be used. The 66-year-old businessman said he fears being shunned by Trump if he talks to the press.
'I personally paid $100,000 years ago (the initiation fee was upped to $200,000 last month) to join and I go to dinner at Mar-a-Lago every Saturday.
The sudden ban comes a week after Trump and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe learned of the firing of a North Korean missile toward Japan while having dinner on the terrace in the middle of a dozen tables with about 100 members
'This is the first time I'm told I can't go in. Not even for a drink at the bar!
'This has never happened before. Friends of mine have been calling the club to tell them they want credit for not being able to go in. This president thing is getting old quickly. Donald's going to lose members.'

It says "for DailyMail.com". This means the story will have been subjected to the same (low but present) vetting standards as stories appearing in the print version.
If it says "for MailOnline" instead, the story is unvetted and most likely BS. Hope that helps!
