Look at this: They are saying they can and will shoot down unauthorized aircraft over Mar-a-Lago from 10/31/2022 - 05/31/2023
Is this to protect Trump or to take him out?

JUST SO EVERYONE KNOWS (WHY THE CAPS):
THE ONLY planes that can shoot down ANOTHER PLANE (LEGALLY) is the US Navy and US Air Force...There are Air Force Squadrons Throughout the state of Florida ALONG with NAVY!!!
NOTE: They could also be flying cover over MAL!!! Just a thought!!!
All branches have aircraft, just not fixed-wing aircraft. Technically an Army helicopter could take action if for example a drone was circling over MAL. Maybe for a slow crop-duster, but it is most likely going to be a fighter aircraft that is called to take care of the threat. And in this case, probably an Air Force plane. Maybe Navy from Jacksonville, especially if they are already up but they would have to be properly armed, so they would probably still call the Air Force.
