WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Donald Trump, no stranger to noisy publicity, is complaining again about the roar of jets in a $100 million lawsuit over air traffic he says is purposely being directed to fly over his ritzy Palm Beach club. 
 
 Trump filed the suit against Palm Beach County last week, claiming his history of conflict with Palm Beach International Airport has led officials to spitefully redirect air traffic over his historic Mar-a-Lago estate in south Florida. 
 
 "I am saving one of the great houses of this country and one of its greatest landmarks," he said in an interview Monday, "and it's being badly damaged by the airplanes." 
 
 Rather than fanning air traffic in multiple directions, Trump says the county's airports director — who has been named in prior litigation filed by the real estate mogul — has successfully pressured the Federal Aviation Administration to have controllers direct almost all flights due east, directly above Mar-a-Lago, the lawsuit claims. It calls the actions "deliberate and malicious." 
 
 Noise, vibrations and emissions from the planes are causing cracks and other damage to porous stone construction, antique Spanish tiles, roofing, floors and columns, not to mention disrupting "the once serene and tranquil ambience," the lawsuit says. 
 
 Trump says even his own Boeing 757 — emblazoned with his surname in gold — has been forced to take a flight path over Mar-a-Lago, where he has a home. 
 
 "It's doing tremendous damage to the No. 1 landmark in the state of Florida, between the vibration, the soot, the noise, all of these elements," Trump said. 
 
 The County Attorney's Office said it hadn't been served with the lawsuit and had no comment. 
 
 A 1995 lawsuit by Trump over airport noise ended with the county agreeing to lease Trump the land where he later built Trump International Golf Club. A 2010 lawsuit by Trump over airport noise was dismissed. 
 
 The Mediterranean-style Mar-a-Lago, completed in 1927, is a National Historic Landmark. Trump bought it in 1985 and after extensive restoration, opened it 10 years later as a private club. About 450 of the island's elite are members. 
 
 "There's no place in the world like it — it's one of the great places in the world," Trump said. "And I have to protect it. I have to protect it."

 Follow Matt Sedensky on Twitter at http://twitter.com/sedensky ||||| Donald Trump has sued Palm Beach County in Florida for $100 million and accused the county-run airport of deliberately sending air traffic over his historic mansion and private club. 
 
 Trump specifically called out the local airport director Bruce Pelly for diverting all departing flights over the Mar-a-Lago mansion, to seek revenge over a 20-year-old lawsuit. 
 
 "The county's and Bruce Pelly's efforts in this regard are both deliberate and malicious, and motivated by personal animosity towards Donald Trump," reads the lawsuit, which was filed in Palm Beach County Court on Jan. 6. 
 
 The lawsuit says Pelly wants to get back at Trump for suing him in 1995 and blocking his plans to expand the airport. 
 
 "Pelly is seeking revenge by attacking Mar-a-Lago from the air," according to the lawsuit.

 Adding insult to injury, Trump is forced to fly his own private jet over his club, according to his lawyer, John Marion of Sellars, Marion & Bachi. 
 
 Lawyers for Palm Beach County, who represent Pelly, declined to comment. 
 
 Trump bought the Spanish-tiled oceanside mansion in 1985 and it is listed on the National Register of Historical Places. The lawsuit said that it was built in 1927, and therefore predates the existence of the airport, which was built in the 1930s. It also predates the introduction of jet aircraft in the 1950s. 
 
 Trump called the flights a "horrible injustice" and that, despite restoration, the vintage club is "particularly susceptible to the corrosive bombardment" from jet aircraft.

 "The overflights of Mar-a-Lago have caused a direct and substantial invasion of the property by excessive, unreasonable, unwarranted and uninvited noise, vibrations, fumes, pollution and residue, which cause direct physical damage to Mar-a-Lago," reads the lawsuit. 
 
 The lawsuit claims the mansion is "by far and away the most important historical structure in Palm Beach and one of the most important in Florida and, indeed, the United States."
– Donald Trump says his Palm Beach estate and private club is one of the most important structures in the country—but it's being destroyed by vengeful airport authorities. In a $100 million lawsuit, the tycoon claims that the county-run airport has been "motivated by personal animosity towards Donald Trump" to redirect air traffic over the Mar-a-Lago estate, damaging the 1927 club building through "excessive, unreasonable, unwarranted, and uninvited noise, vibrations, fumes, pollution, and residue," CNN reports. The lawsuit claims airport director Bruce Pelly's "deliberate and malicious" routing of air traffic over the estate is revenge for Trump's 1995 lawsuit over airport noise. "It's doing tremendous damage to the No. 1 landmark in the state of Florida, between the vibration, the soot, the noise, all of these elements," Trump tells the AP. To add insult to injury, Trump says, even his own Boeing 757 has to fly over the estate, where he has a home. The Palm Beach County Attorney's Office had no comment on the lawsuit.
