Palm Beach, Florida, has renamed its airport after President Donald Trump, becoming the latest institution to take on the Republican leader’s identity. The renaming of Palm Beach International Airport to President Donald J. Trump International Airport was a high-profile nod to Trump’s support in his adopted state of Florida, home to his Mar-a-Lago resort.
Trump’s Legacy in Florida
Since he took office for a second White House term last year, Trump’s name has been imprinted on a planned class of Navy warships, a visa program for wealthy foreigners, a government-run prescription drug website, and federal savings accounts for children. He has also pursued an ambitious remaking of Washington.
Republican Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed legislation in March to rename the southeast Florida city’s airport after Trump. The Federal Aviation Administration three-letter identifier code will change from PBI to DJT – Trump’s initials – on August 18, the airport said on its website.
