Democrats cry foul at change to airport closest to Mar-a-Lago days after president’s lawyers trademarked new name
Democrats in Florida have condemned Republican colleagues in the state legislature who approved renaming the airport in West Palm Beach to the “President Donald J Trump International Airport”, less than a week after lawyers for Trump sought to trademark the name.
Only the signature of Florida’s Republican governor, Ron DeSantis, now stands before a renaming ceremony at the airport less than six miles from the president’s waterfront Mar-a-Lago mansion and private resort club in Palm Beach.
Currently known as Palm Beach International, the airport is frequented by Trump on Air Force One on most weekends during the winter season. The president is then driven to and from his residence along a stretch of road renamed Donald J Trump Boulevard, in January, in another act of homage by the Florida legislature.
Pedo international airport?
When this over, it will be illegal to name anything after him.
Whats great about these is it reminds me of places I don’t want to go.
What a shithole state.
Bend the knee, kiss the ring, lick the boot… But really, just bend over. Can you imagine if Democrats in any timeline renamed things after Biden, Clinton, Bernie, Obama, or anyone else!?
There’s no other party that is so disgustingly sycophantic as these pathetic Republicans, yet this is just considered “normal” now…
They did name about 1km worth of highway in Scranton after Biden after he was elected President
Oh, wow. Still kind of pathetic, but that’s his home town! I would hope my home town would love me if I was elected president…
More reasons not to go to Florida.
Actually would be a fitting name. Trump’s house is directly in its flight path like a mile from the end of the runway. That’s a big part of the reason he was able to buy it: no one else was dumb enough to.
Of course in Trump fashion he bought the asset with the glaring unfixable problem and then immediately started a long string of lawsuits against the airport.
A minor conspiracy theory is that he wanted to be President so the airport would finally stop flying planes over his house every day.
Damn it, I went to flight school in that area, including using this airport. This means I might have flown over Trump’s house and not even realized it.
Well, at least now I have an answer for that “if you could go back in time and tell your younger self something” question.
