Donald Trump's frequent visits to his luxury Florida resort Mar-a-Lago appear to be ruffling a few feathers.

With the president touching down south again this evening to host Chinese President Xi Jinping, I spoke to Congresswoman Lois Frankel, Democratic representative of West Palm Beach - where Trump's so called 'Winter White House' lies.

Congresswomen Frankel addressed a letter to President Trump last month politely asking him to curtail his visits to Mar-a-Lago - or pay compensation for the local government's increased costs.

Her letter outlined the millions of dollars President Trump's frequent visits cost her district.

From heightening security, using additional resource at the local police and fire departments, to shutting of the local airport and therefore its revenue - Frankel left no stone unturned.

Palm Beach County estimates that each visit costs $3.3 million and $85,000 in overtime for police.

Inconveniently President Trump's visits to Mar-a-Lago also bring a 10-mile no-fly zone with him.

And since taking office 10 weeks ago he has reportedly spent seven weekends at the Florida base.

When I spoke to Congresswoman Frankel, she had advised President Trump to host his Chinese counterpart at Disney World, Florida rather than Mar-a-Lago.

Mar-a Lago is Trump's exclusive, elite club renowned for its world-class amenities is essentially a playground for the rich.

It includes:

Frankel's tone took what I can only describe as a tongue-in-cheek approach to politics, or at least her media relations, setting the tone for her thoughts on Mar-a-Lago.

Walking into Congresswoman Frankel's office I instantly spotted a wall hanging of he pictured with Barack Obama.

Lead through the door by her communications director, Frankel was sat at her desk clearly in the middle of something.

She is not only a congresswoman but also sits on the Foreign Affair Committee - and with the current situation in Syria as well as changes in administration her tight schedule wasn't surprising.

Frankel said the safety of any president - regardless of political affiliation - is of the utmost importance and would never deny Trump security, for the secret service have a duty to fulfill.

But once the initial niceties were out the way, she went on: "Some people say that he's bringing great attention to a beautiful part of the country, and I grant him that.

"But with that said we're [cities and counties] not like the federal government. We can't buy our own money."

"We have tight budgets and so when you start having these overtime fees and having to pay your police and fire departments more than has been budgeted, where do you get that money?

"That money's coming out of somewhere."

And by "somewhere" she meant Palm Beach's ever tightening budget.

As for Donald Trump's budget?

According to Frankel, these frequent flights to the palm beaches of Mar-a-Lago are just a marketing ploy to polish his private business.

"Our President is taking foreign dignitaries and cabinet members to his private club and guess what's happened since all this started?" she says.

"The fee at Mar-a-Lago used to be under $50,000 to join now it's $300,000 to join."

She continues: "So you have club members who really, that enjoy the ambiance of having all these foreign dignitaries around them.

"You know, who's making the profit? Donald Trump.

"Now listen, I've heard of presidents making money when they leave office, I think that is accepted, but to make money on your private business when you're in office? To me, there's something wrong with that."
