Last month, Florida’s Legislature passed a law that will rename Palm Beach International Airport for President Donald Trump. Earlier today, the Florida Legislature formally sent HB 919 to Governor Ron DeSantis. And DeSantis signed it. Eric Trump is celebrating online:
Palm Beach International Airport is now officially…. “President Donald J. Trump International Airport!”
Proud to have played a small role in making this happen. Huge thanks to @megforflorida, @GovRonDeSantis, @JamesUthmeierFL, and the overwhelming majority in the Florida House! pic.twitter.com/Yi5LSdlDaT

In fact, Eric Trump’s tweet is inaccurate. Palm Beach International Airport will be but is not yet President Donald J. Trump International Airport.
- The law is effective July 1, 2026
- It is subject to FAA approval and an agreement authorizing use of the Trump name
FAA approval will come from Trump’s FAA, and an agreement will be reached with Trump to allow use of the name. (The law does not permit Trump to be paid for this.)
President Trump has been looking to have an airport named for him for six years. Now it’s going to happen. It’s entirely reasonable for a President to be interested in his naming legacy, and not an uncommon thing for airports to be named for former Presidents. Palm Beach is Trump’s primary residence. It’s just a bit unseemly to do it while he’s still in office.
I don’t love naming major public infrastructure after whatever party is in power. That’s not anti-Trump in the slightest. I didn’t like it when Chicago was talking about renaming an airport for Obama, I was critical of renaming Las Vegas airport for Harry Reid, and criticized renaming Atlanta Hartsfield International Airport Hartsfield-Jackson in 2003.
Hopefully, though, naming Palm Beach International for President Trump will forestall naming Washington Dulles after him. Surely we don’t want more than one airport with the same name. That’s just a recipe for confusion, passengers flying to the wrong place, and misdirected bags.
that’s really sad. Trump is really bad person, so are his kids. So are the people who are in with him. Florida used to be a nice place. This is really sad.
If I’m in that area, I’ll make sure to visit the restrooms.
Suggested IATA code: TACO
Great. Formerly Southern Blvd, now DJT Boulevard will lead directly to the Donald Trump airport. Is our nation great again or what?
America’s trash can is at it again!
Just inproper and unseemly to name any public infrastructure while the person is in office.
Not only does it smack of favoritism and pandering but it’s more in keeping with the antics of petty despite in third world countries.
Not at all anti-Trump, as I’ve said the same thing when there was talk of ORD to be renamed for Obama.
Just keep the name with the city the airport is based in, and avoid confusion.
And I thought the ‘respected’ tradition was to at least wait until the ‘honored’ was DECEASED..
Can’t we ever catch even a petty insignificant break at all ? …
…LOL….
St. Petersburg to Petrograd to Leningrad to St. Petersburg.
Tsaritsyn to Stalingrad to Volgograd.
Santo Domingo to Ciudad Trujillo to Santo Domingo
Podgorica to Titograd to Podgorica
Such name changes rarely outlast the egos that created them. It will be the Kennedy Center again, and the proper office holders’ signatures will be back on the currency once more. Secure people do not need to be like dogs, marking everything they pass.
@ drrichard
Thanks for the comforting words of hope for the future when his reign will end …
We’re practically drowning in his ‘dog’ piss already !!!
@ bossa — Let’s hope fhe tradition of post-humous naming continues.
Here’s a million dollar idea: Instead of another boring airport lounge, maybe they can open a TDS clinic inside. No need to have insurance as they accept Priority Pass. Think of the lines to get in there!
@ ANAL — It think an STD clinic would be more appropriate.
@Gene — Zing!!
@MIAZiggy — Unfortunately, Port of Spain, Trinidad, already took POS…
re/named for live folks – Mineta SJC, GHWB IAH, Bill and Hillary Clinton LIT, Bob Hope BUR, John Wayne SNA, Gerald R Ford GRR renamed while alive dedicated after death, Harry Reid LAS renamed while alive.
From the rabbit hole.
This is so appropriate as he is so close to winning the Nobel Peace Prize
Someone will donate one to him again to our once in a lifetime President of Peace
Say hallelujah the greatest President of our lifetime
On my way to The Trump Center to see Kid Rock,the Village People and one Rockette
perform.Hail to our King
MAGA!
Funny how many against Trump are supporters of Cesar Chavez.
I don’t mean to leave you out. Maybe the airport TDS clinic can provide you remote services since you don’t travel. Yes dear, orange man very bad. Chin up, 873 or so days left.
This is great news because that probably means that Dulles is safe from becoming the President Donald J. Trump Washington International Airport at Dulles.
Chicago Rockford International Airport should be renamed Barack Obama International Airport.
Actually, they should stop naming airports after presidents or choose one airport to have that name. BWI could be it. BWI could become the Thurgood Marshall Presidents Gavin Newsom Marco Rubio Baltimore Washington International Airport, if Newsom is the next president and Rubio after that. If Bernie Sanders becomes president after that (at age 100) then name it “Thurgood Marshall Presidents Newsom Rubio Sanders Baltimore Washington International Airport. After several presidents, it might be called:
Thurgood Marshall Presidents Newsom Rubio Sanders Smith Jones Johnson Parsa Hamid Gonzales Anderson Baltimore Washington International Airport or THRNRSSJJPHGA BWI airport.
@ANAL – Thanks for proving Tramp Derangement Syndrome is a real affliction of the human psyche.
In the meantime, stop being so anal.
Authoritarian leadership: a style where a single leader retains maximum authority, making all decisions without team input. It is characterized by top-down communication, strict control over policies and procedures, and a demand for absolute, unquestioning compliance, often focusing on immediate results and high productivity.
Facts.
Now I know I am leaving Florida! Effective July 1. Those idiots in Florida can have that asshole. I want no part of a rapist, murdering felon. How can they justify naming an airport after a convicted felon? He belongs behind bars!
@ ANAL — I don’t travel? You are clueless, dude. I bet you $10,000 I’ve travel WAY more than you.
In the case of LAS, I think it was renamed just when Reid was dying, he died the same month. It may have been a final gesture.
Jon he will not make it that long with his medical issues. Currently theres a large amount of bets supporting this
I’m not really concerned about it. Once that POS is out of office and things hopefully stabilize, that name will be stripped from every public space/entity by actual adults performing actual adult duties.
Trump International Airport Palm Beach
Trump International Airport New York City
Trump International Airport Chicago
Trump International Airport Las Vegas
Trump International Airport Washington DC
The opportunities are endless…
Go ahead, rename it, if it prevents Dulles from being renamed.
I’m guessing most of the TDS posters here were wearing frog costumes at the No Kings event. Mazie Hirono, as dumb as she is, finally said something that made sense. She said Trump is not and never will be a king. Listen to Mazzie.
The Rethuglican party exists to do nothing but constantly fellate our Orange dotard King. Disgusting.
@ANAL
TDS goes both ways, you unseasoned chicken breast.

I can’t wait to get a dollar bill with Trump’s signature on it. Then I can write in, after his name, “..is a pedophile”.
Cleared to land…..inside their heads.
