    I bet the airport will constantly change their schedules, chicken out on some flights, and will try to build an iron dome around it. /s

    DeSantis trying real hard for a position in the Trump administration.

    Will be entertaining watching DeSantis, Rubio, and Vance try to destroy each other in a couple years.

    And once the full Epstein files come out it will cost another $5M to rename it

  3. It will likely cost more as people reflexively decide not to fly into or out of it.

    Hell I live in between it and FLL and I wouldn’t fly out. Hell I’d fly into FLL and uber to West Palm if I had to. Or just ride the tri-rail.

  4. Seems about right.

    20 years ago my university did a rename, against large opposition, that cost roughly the same amount and ratfucked all of recent grads applying for jobs to companies that either didn’t recognize the new name or could not search for the old name due to the transition.

    Someone should tell newly appointed Couch Czar Vance about this waste, fraud and abuse happening in Florida!!

    Good. That money might have gone to something wasteful like daycare or Medicare.

    /s

    How is it allowed to name something after a living person, let alone a living person HOLDING POLITICAL POWER is beyond me as an Eastern European. Last time we did that shit it the massgraves were shot to the brim.

    Total bullshit once again from the narcissist in chief. Fucking pathetic .

  9. dreamyblondie on

    $5.5 million for new signage, logos, uniforms and promotional materials while Florida teachers are underpaid and infrastructure crumbles. But sure, let’s prioritize stroking Trump’s ego and helping his brand recognition. This is exactly the kind of wasteful spending Republicans claim to oppose.

  10. Known_Attorney_456 on

    When not in power Republicans constantly scream about how ” the tax and spend” Democrats are the ones that run up the national debt when in reality it is the exact opposite. So far with Trump’s 1st term and his first year of this term he has accounted for more than 25 percent of the total national debt.

    Every second post on this thread now is how this fat buffoon is asking or costing the tax payers more money: Airports, alcatraz, war.

    Make bitch tits fund his own bs or ask his donors

  12. What I have to say about DeSantis will get me banned on Reddit. Let’s just say I’m pretty sure he is actively complicit in certain illegal activities in South Florida and is participating in the coverup.

    Trump name and MAGA is today’s confederate keepsakes. I hope very soon that they all get torn down, and ppl slink back to their basements/ garage to hold their Trump rallies and bitch/ whine about minorities taking their jobs.

    It’s sad but he’s infected today’s youths and we have college kids brazenly being racist again. Fast forward to the next radical leader who’s far less incompetent. Trump has given them the blueprint

    Where is DOGE when there’s some real waste and abuse to be addressed? Someone call Elon.

  15. writeinfreedom on

    Impeach. Remove. Convict. Confine.

    No more stories about naming buildings or other bullshit.

    Harass the Congress until they do this.

    No more excuses about parties or control. Get it done.

  16. Hillbilly_Boozer on

    Not only will it cost taxpayers money, but Trump will also earn money off it from the name branding. Blatant corruption.

  17. I wonder what wonderful nickname this will garner? The locals call the Bill and Hillary Clinton Nation airport, in Little Rock, “Hill-Billy airport”.

  18. Andovars_Ghost on

    I still don’t understand how a private individual can trademark the name of a public airport for their own benefit.

  19. > State Rep. Meg Weinberger, who proposed the renaming bill, has defended the expected costs. She believes the enthusiasm around the president’s name and brand being associated with Palm Beach will recoup the millions spent.

    > “I think it will really help our community and our state quite a bit having that global brand,” she told WPBF earlier this week.

    WTF does this even mean? Does she think people will fly to Palm Beach just because of the airport name?

  20. LayneCobain95 on

    This shit costs money, but in time, without a doubt, once it is universally accepted how horrible of a person he is- they will need to remove his name from everything. Which will cost money again

  21. woodpaulusgnome on

    Why oh why are these sycophants giving in to him? I am hoping that he doesn’t get to see anything else that gets named after him

  22. Any-Log-6706 on

    The family also got trademarks on different iterations of the Trump airport name. Milking it all the way.

  23. peachy_kattie on

    The fact that Trump’s organization conveniently filed trademark applications for airport related uses of his name in February shows this was always about personal branding. Rep. Carlos Guillermo Smith was right that this is just subsidizing Trump’s merchandise empire with public funds.

  24. Way more than that.

    I will spend the rest of my life refusing to fly into that airport. I’ll fly in at Melbourne or Miami and drive in West Palm if ever forced to go to that fucking state.
