Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed legislation on Monday to rename Palm Beach International Airport after President Donald Trump, pending federal confirmation. The measure, approved by state lawmakers earlier this year, would rebrand the airport as President Donald J. Trump International Airport as soon as July 1. The law also allows for the renaming of other commercial airports across Florida, though Palm Beach International is currently the only facility slated for a name change.
Florida is making it official! 🇺🇸

Welcome to the new President Donald J. Trump International Airport — right in the heart of Palm Beach!

The airport, located near Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence, serves as a frequent travel hub for the president. Although the FAA does not formally approve airport name changes, it must complete administrative updates to reflect any new designation before the name change is complete. DeSantis signed the bill privately, though a spokesperson indicated that a ceremonial signing may be held at a later date.
Reaction to the legislation has been mixed. In a post on X, the Republican Party of Florida said the state was “honored to be home to this landmark tribute,” while critics raised concerns about costs associated with the rebranding, which have been estimated at about $5.5 million.
The Trump Organization has said neither the president nor his family would receive financial compensation tied to the airport name, though it trademarked several possible names for the airport shortly after the Florida House and Senate passed the potential name change last month.
Give the baby another binkie…
Merely the latest manifestation of TDS [Trump Dedication Syndrome] where twice impeached convicted felon and self-admitted pussy grabber Trump and his sycophants slather his name and orange image over anything that doesn’t move and some things that do… echoing the press-disparaging personality cults which have propped up Mao Zedong, Stalin, Saddam Hussein and the Kim Dynasty. On August 24,1814, British soldiers entered the White House, ate a meal prepared for the President’s guests, and then set the mansion ablaze using gunpowder paste and torches. Until King Donny illegally demolished the East Wing, tore up the grounds, tastelessly gilded the classical interiors, replaced Presidential portraits with caricatures and lying insults, and encouraged his cult members to sack The Capitol and hang the VP, that was the worst attack ever on DC. No one pardoned the British. Donny pardoned the cop beaters. Not content with that legacy, he relentlessly self-promotes and encourages his lackeys to do likewise. Government agencies drape his lumpy likeness on their building facades like scenes from the movie Nineteen Eighty-Four. This PBI obscenity will be merely the latest demented egomaniacal manifestation eclipsed only by his U.S. Mint gold coin and, next, signature on all currency. When the chief pedo and his corrupt family finally join Ghislaine in prison it will be more easily undone than the latter.
You forgot such names as Nelson Mandela and Mahatma Gandhi.
Trump joins a long list of political felons.
Funny how this name change went smoother than getting TSA payroll sorted out.
Maybe it’s just the magic of April Fools’ Day?
Oh yea! Let’s rename Las Vegas Int’l for the real donor: Xi Jinping Harry Reid knew a lot about that!
Personally, I feel that prison is too good for he and his family. I would much prefer to see them living under a bridge without a tent, eating food out of the dumpster…
The only thing I’d like to see him have his name on as an outhouse we could refer to it as the Trump dump
Before putting Trumps name on anything, it would be wise to look at what is currently happening to all of the items bearing Cesar Chavez’s name. At least Cesar Chavez probably did some good. The full truth of Trump’s association with Jeffery Epstein is going to come out and then all of the gold lettering is going have to be taken off. I can only wish that Trump would have to bear 1% of the pain he has caused others.
So I guess they’ll need to change the ICAO code. KPDO? KPED? KUNT? KOCK? So many choices, so few characters.
There is renaming an airport and renaming an airport. Not many of us would address the DCA or BWI towers as Reagan Tower or Marshall Tower respectively. Not sure what the precedent is for changing the identifier. The only one that comes to mind is IDL changing to JFK.
I think they should change LaGuardia’s identifier to EFT…to honor Eric Frederick Trump.
Not any worse than renaming Little Rock AR airport after the Clinton’s, or renaming Las Vegas airport after Senator Harry Reid!
Yep. Poor Harry went nuclear for Obama Judges
Good to hear, well deserved!
Keep your politics to yourself, this is about flying.
