I’d be surprised if this doesn’t pass, quite frankly…

Lawmaker proposes renaming airport after President Trump
Republican Florida State Representative Meg Weinberger has introduced a proposal to rename Palm Beach International Airport to Donald J. Trump International Airport. As she explained in a statement:
“President Trump is the most consequential president of our lifetime and a resident of Palm Beach County, which makes it only fitting to honor him, like many other presidents before him, by naming our airport Donald J. Trump International.”
This wouldn’t be the first that her efforts have caused something to be renamed after Trump. In February 2025, Weinbeger co-sponsored bill HB 987, to rename a four mile stretch of Southern Boulevard in Palm Beach County (near Mar-a-Lago) after Trump. While the bill was signed into law, the actual signage change is still in the works.
With Republicans holding a majority in the Florida Legislature, odds are decent that this proposal will pass. Trump has reportedly been pushing to have an airport named after him, and of course people love to score brownie parts for proposals like this.
I do wonder if this airport is “enough” for Trump, or if he’s going to hold out for a bigger airport being named after him (or who knows, I guess there could be multiple airports). In the past there was talk of Washington’s Dulles Airport (IAD) being named after him, but that didn’t have sufficient support.
Currently, more than 10 commercial airports in the United States are named after former presidents, including New York’s John F. Kennedy Airport (JFK), Washington’s Ronald Reagan National Airport (DCA), Houston’s George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH), Grand Rapids’ Gerald Ford Airport (GRR), and Little Rock’s Clinton National Airport (LIT), among others.
I’m not a fan of airports being named after politicians
My opinion on this is the same as it has been about every proposal to rename an airport after a politician, whether a Democrat, Republican, or whatever (and if you don’t believe me, see my post about Las Vegas being renamed after Democrat Harry Reid).
I’m just no a fan of airports being named after politicians:
- Why can’t we just keep airport names simple, and name them after their location, or the cities or regions they serve? There’s no need to complicate things
- It’s one thing to name an airport after someone a vast majority of people can agree on, but to me it’s a bit different to name an airport after a politician, which is always going to be divisive
- At some point this renaming stuff just comes down to partisan politicians ruling in favor of one politician over another, and that just seems like a rabbit hole that’s better avoided
But at this point over 10 airports in the United States have been named after presidents, so I guess there’s no reason to stop now…
Bottom line
A Florida lawmaker has proposed renaming Palm Beach International Airport after Donald Trump. Given that the Florida Legislature is Republican, this could very well pass. It would be far from the first time that an airport would be named after a president, even if it’s a practice that I find to be rather questionable.
Pedo Beach airport, named after Trump
The airport will become a public urinal... Seriously tho, not my favorite airport but I don't travel to the Palm Beach part of the coast very often. But I'd actively avoid it if it were named for a fascist.
I think it is a great idea! Hope it goes thru. We do have Harry Reid and he was not even a Prez!
Harry Reid also didn't try to overthrow the government.
He should have a major US airports named after him! Great idea!
Can the airport code be switched to PDO?
Beats naming IAD after him
I hope they will rename it, just to see all the woke, brainwashed leftists go nuts
Ditto. The TDS afflicted really need to seek psychological help if these forum responses are in anyway indicative of their unhinged TDS thought processes.
Reminder to the left… real Emperors would disappear, ghost, silence, cancel, jail, or kill you. You are allowed to speak and vent here. Let God, capitalism, thought, and democracies freedom bless you all as you seek recovery from your illnesses.
LOL I love how you MAGA types attribute your own tendencies to "leftists" just like your orange god does. We're laughing at you, not going nuts. You're the ones who flip out at the slightest provocation. You're the ones who move quickly to veiled or direct threats of violence. You're the ones who can't handle living in a country with people who are different than you. You're the ones who get triggered. You're objects of amusement at at times, pity.
Get a life.
True.
Wannabe Emperors can only manage to disappear to their resorts in Floria, ghost appearances at summits like the G20, attempt to silence critical commentary from late-night show hosts, cancel visas to academics critical of the regime, jail actual citizens without due process for racist profiling of "illegal presence in the country", or kill you (via failed pandemic responses, using food benefits as a political weapon, refusing to support gun control, supporting a violent coup...

You must be happy that white supremacists are allowed to speak and vent here.
Anyway, on the topic of the airport, would be funny if he gets PBI named after him, but then throws a tantrum because it turns out he wanted a bigger airport named after him, but can't do it because PBI already got to it first. lol
Go ahead and do it then Endre. In fact, burn up all Orange POTUS' time finding things to name after himself. Anything to occupy his time other than crushing more American dreams. Owing to his lifestyle, he will likely expire on the toilet.
It is hilarious to see a Trump worshiper talk about someone else being brainwashed
At that rate America is falling, how long until airports are named after Jeffrey Epstein and Benjamin Netanyahu too?
No, America is not ‘failing.’ It just has a corrupt, incompetent leader at the moment. We’ll overcome this.
Like how we got here at the moment by overcoming a power addict sleepy grandpa backtrack nepo pardoner?
Can’t be sleepy when you’re railing crushed up Adderall pills all day
Orange Ass would be a terrible name for an airport.
*orange Swass*
Can’t wait to fully witness the downfall of the US. It’s gonna be great
Be careful what you wish for. My understanding of the loud Americans is that they are not gracious losers. So when they fall, they would rather take everyone else with them than to go away graciously.
I immensely dislike Trump and Maga and also you sound like a dip shit too
No. His opponents still root for the wellbeing of our country. Do not attempt disinformation. We do not want chaos.
It’s a pity the IATA code DTD is already in use, because Dotard International has quite a ring to it.
Agree 100% with article. Stick to names that reflect the city or region. That said it’s absolutely not a hill I am willing die on.
I’d trade an airport name for any number of other priorities if that’s what it took.
That’s said can we at least stick to naming just newly built airports after politicians? Renaming a large existing airport, IAD, seems like such a colossal waste of money and energy with...

But you don't understand. Trump doesn't care about cost. Yo and I will pay for it.
I will accept this if he enables US261.
Woop! US-261! Pay us when you’re late, airlines! Yeah!
The post's cover photo appears to be Palm Springs? (PSP)
And if you wanna get your cats worked-up, do a little ‘pspsps’ for them!
Exciting News
If so we can have Melania decorate the airport terminal for ChristmOs
Be best!
Really dig Melanie’s ‘Nightmare Before Christmas” vibe
In many countries, naming things after politicians requires them to be dead first.
Hamberders.
With that sick orange face, he appears dead.
I can think of so many better things to name after Mango Mussolini… the wastewater treatment plant, landfills, luxurious places like Love’s Canal and Hanford… the list goes on.
Just pinched a turd that looks a bit orange because I've been drinking carrot juice. Named it after Drag Queen Donny.
Next will be postage stamps and currency (avec royalties) and a soon to be published memoir titled "My Struggle."
And just like that era, we’ve got Latinos for Trump: “Down with us! Down with us!”
Yeah, that’s turning out to be a little like “Queers for Palestine”, which was in turn a little like “Jews for Hitler”.
It's ok to be gay PeteAU. If you need a safe space to come out in, you can do it here.
Another reason to never travel to Florida.
Oh no… I really wanted to visit The Villages… I guess I’ll have to postpone… sad face.
Happy about that; Florida doesn’t want you. Red is my favorite color.
Opposed to naming airports after people except under extraordinary circumstances. If named after people, then aviation people.
The exceptions, in my opinion, are
JFK - President Kennedy
ORD - Lt. Butch O'Hare, war hero
ATL - Hartsfield Jackson, ok, let that go
BOS - Logan, ok, let that go
MKE - General Mitchell, ok let that go
That's it.

If they keep naming airports, then make Washington National the rotating airport name. Name it Carter for the last dead President. Change its name to the next dead President, which might be Biden. Trump is possibly next. Clinton is likely next. Then Bush. Then Obama.
As a DC resident, most people here refer to it as "DCA" or "National" anyway.
Clinton already has an airport named after him, and her. Bush 43 is problematic since Bush 41 already has an airport named after him. I'd add ICT for Eisenhower and GRR for Ford to the acceptable list (for his congressional career, not his presidency), as well as SPI for Lincoln (how much more deserving can a guy get?). When the time comes, AVP or ILG for Biden.
As for some of the others on your...

As for some of the others on your exceptions list, non-Chicagoans (and how sad you are) don't know who Butch O'Hare was, and I have no idea who Logan is nor do I care. The Hartsfield half of ATL is a little problematic; rename it after Jimmy Carter. I know that people here are pushing for MDW to be named after Obama due to the South Side connection, and I would accept that only if Trump is dead. If ORD is named after Obama, the fireworks from the White House would be glorious.
How can you not know it.
Logan is the Wolverine.
I'd include CMH after Glenn, but no way JFK. He knew Vietnam was a mistake, but wouldn't withdraw because it would hurt his reelection. Pure scum just for that.
Naw, man, JFK is not to ‘blame’ for the USA’s failure in Vietnam; for the modern era, let’s start with the French, who botched their exit its ‘colony’ in 1954, and the resulting partition; the USA’s bi-partisan ‘containment’ (of communism) strategy began under Truman, continued with Eisenhower, JFK, LBJ, Nixon, etc.
If you wanna blame JFK for escalating, sure, they all did, and Nixon was arguably the worst for actually prolonging that war for...

If you wanna blame JFK for escalating, sure, they all did, and Nixon was arguably the worst for actually prolonging that war for his own political advantage, but, let’s be clear, after WWII and Korea, Vietnam was the next proxy war, among others.
Like, I’d give JFK more sh*t over Bay of Pigs, but whatever at this point. Otherwise, his legacy advancing scientific research and education, promoting the space program, etc. are more worthy of our continued praise.
Maybe they can swap airport codes with Fresno and get FAT for Donald J. Trump International!
I think Dunedin, New Zealand should give him their code.
Brings back memories of his trip to Mount Rushmore in his first term and the discreet lobbying for his image to be carved into the rocks, I fear he will try yet again.
In all seriousness, it's one thing to have something named after you. But "wanting" something named after you is just another level or narcissism and vanity.
The guy wants the Peace Prize, Medal Of Honor, Purple Heart, his face on Mount Rushmore, airports, you name it. I mean how much more narcissistic can you get?!
Just rename the fucking state of Florida or even the entire country and get it over with. Florida is already...

We all have that hole inside, you know, that nagging doubt that our life is meaningful and will add up to anything. This Donny Trump fella's hole must be the size of the Grand Canyon to spend so much of his life seeking public adulation to avoid acknowledging the fact that he, like all of us, will die one day and with enough time eventually no one will think of or utter his name again.

If only someone could talk to him, tell him that he's enough, even without maximum attention for his entire life, we'd all be better off.
Remember, during the pandemic, ‘free’ state of Florida… free-dumbs.
In all seriousness, I pity your sarcasm.
He already got a second term and a 747-8.
The people voted for the guy. It's not like he seized power by force. It's not like you didn't get a preview from his first term.
Sleeping Grandpa Joe greed for power sidelined everyone until it was too late.
Didn't expect him to pardon didn't ya.
Politicians, nuff said.
Excellent! Looking forward for this to enjoy the leftist TDS crew having a permanent reason for foaming at the mouth.
Leftist TDS, is that AntiFa in MAGA’s alternate reality? Asking for a friend.
I like the way PHX does it. Terminals, not airports
Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) Or San Francisco International Airport (SFO) Could Be Renamed After Gavin Newsom.
Because why not.
And Midway after Obama. It’s near his new Presidential Library anyways.
You've never taken 55th from Midway to Washington Park. Looks close, but the traffic is perpetual.
OAK desperately wants to rename, start there.
At last prior to say 1990, Britain was more snesible than Europe and the USA about naming airports, streets etc.
Surnames only.
Morrison Street, Wells Road, Mandela Way etc.
Which with time largely fade into the background.
Unfortunately more recently British politicians have fallen into the ghastly habit of including full names (E.g. Liverpool John Lennon airport)
Although perhaps there is hope - I'm sure that the one in SE1 was...

Rather than dealing with skyrocketing homeowners insurance and other serious issues that impact Floridians such as myself. Our elected (R) officials have proposals such as this.
Donald Trump is among so many other odious things in fact a twice impeached convicted felon.
And we can't do better ?
It’s one reason I left SoFla.
Meanwhile, DeSantis ‘don’t say gay’ and banning women’s healthcare post-Dobbs makes for an unsafe place for more than half the population. Brain drain.
Not to mention, post-Surfside, the new legislation SB 4-D, HB 919, HB393, are gonna bankrupt a lot of folks who live in aging condos.
It’s a sinking ship. Get out while you can.
A significant number of the self loathing GQP gays moved to Florida under DeSantis. I'm sure it's a coincidence. Go to the poshest gay bars and you'll find them.
If by "consequential" they mean corrupt, criminal, pedophile rapist then yeah, I guess so. What next, the Jeffrey Epstein Memorial Highway?
10/10
*chef’s kiss*
You can tell that this was timed in anticipation of massive Republican victories in Tuesdays' elections. The timing is pretty odd given how the elections actually turned out.
‘Hope is alive.’
Naming a small second-rate airport after a small, second-rate man does seem somewhat appropriate.
I’ll stop flying to PBI! Ridiculous
OH FFS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Only after he dies or is out of office. The concept of naming anything after this disgrace human is sad state of affairs of this nation
Even after he dies, and he will, no thanks; he’s a crook. We didn’t name much after Nixon either.
That an airport could be named after a probable pedophile...
Only in America.
The airport code will go from PBI to POS.
NICCCE! LETS F-ING GO!
Unfortunately for you POS is already taken. It’s Port of Spain, Trinidad & Tobago.
Hopefully his billionaire donors can provide funding to Trumpify the terminal--gold picture frames, gold embellishments everywhere, statuary marble in the restrooms, and a ballroom.
Like Turkmenistan. Emperor Trump
Trump doesn't deserve an airport renamed after him. He deserves a spaceport built after him.
The 7 runway Mar-A-Lago Interplanetary Space port. Paid for by tariffs.
Almost forgot he founded Space Force…
Traditionally in old school America, at least before the progressive communists wave and by that I mean the woke-ie Obama-ites rather than the new NYC one… we gave names to all sorts of things honoring true American Heroes, not just the promoted faux created by the left.
I think President Trump represents the best of American resistance against the enemies within our borders, and thus is a true American Hero.
The President transcends and unites...

The President transcends and unites all classes and creeds of our America rather than finding new and creative ways of dividing us by say 151 different genders, and such as that other lot did.
Time to get on the same page I am on lefties cause you guys are on the wrong side of history if you love your country, your neighbors, your people, and your state as I do.
I don't see anything named after G.I.Joe, a real American hero.
Or captain planet, he's a hero
gonna take pollution down to zero.
@Timtamtrak
And he's the reason a whole generation is being greenwashed.
By your powers combined, COP30 can't do shit.
Cap is probably doing coke with the Davos people at the back of a Hummer flown in from Dubai.
This is sarcasm, right? RIGHT? As McEnroe would say, "YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS!!!"
May I please smoke what you are smoking ?
This is satire, right? If so, well done! Kudos for your commitment to fitting so many right wing gobbledygook buzzwords into such a short paragraph.
Do realize how many people are barfing over your over the top excrement. Well, at least it will fill up his pool.
Airports are usually named after dead presidents. Seems like a good deal to me.
Tick tock! Hamburders.
To anyone outraged with naming airports after politicians: The Daniel K. Inouye International Airport in Honolulu, the Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas, the Ted Stevens International Airport in Anchorage, and Reagan National Airport in DC (among others) would all like to have a word with you.
They all dead, pal.
I don't think most people are outraged with naming airports after politicians in general, Don. It's pretty clear most people think it's more ego feathering for the bigger narcissist that has ever been naked in the White House.
He's probably naked in there right now. Doing "executive time" in the residence. Flopping around, all that saggy, orange stained skin.Maybe even getting his adult diaper prepared for him. His hair on a lil pedestal like Liberace....

He smells of excrement btw, people who have met him tell me that.
We NEED to name this airport after President Trump. He is the only MAN (remember when we knew the difference between a MAN and a WOMAN) MAKING AMERICA GREAT AGAIN and protecting us from Demoncrats like Madami crushing our freedoms and making us live under shakira law!
Shakira law is something I can get behind. Hips don’t lie, but the establishment does.
I also support shawarma law, samosa law, smoothie law, and especially snickerdoodle law.
Timtamtrak is the only one who not only realized this was a joke, but in true improv fashion (yes, and) iterated on the joke in brilliant fashion. Bless up to the rest of you tho.
What a non sense comment. Trump is a disgrace to humanity
Idiotic
That's Sharia law moron.
Above and beyond the silliness of naming airports after presidents is the silliness of renaming an airport in the first place.
I like the names of Venice, Florence, Rome and Warsaw Airports. Those are unique.
I like Fukuoka’s IATA code…. And Fresno… and Busan…
Feel like the only time it makes sense to name an airport is if there are multiple airports for the city. Ie, New York, Chicago, DC., Houston, Dallas, etc. Personally, I think Pensacola would be a better airport for the President to have named in his honor.
"I think Pensacola would be a better airport for the President to have named in his honor."
Actually, Moscow would be best.
For what it's worth, both DJT and KDJT are available as IATA/ICAO codes.
Ironically, La Compagnie uses DJT for its flights; for some reason it’s meant to be Dreamjet. I bet the President is pissed about them stealing his initials. Great all-business class airline.
definitely gonna be a popcorn thread.
Donny and the GQP seem to mistake the true significance of the word consequential. The driver that ran a red light and killed my friend's mom walking on the crosswalk was the most consequential driver in her life, but it sure didn't do her any good.
the Saudi consulate in Istanbul was also the most consequential government building in Jamal Khashoggi's life
We’ll be rid of this donkey, soon enough. 361 days until the midterms… countdown me boys
PBI is too small of an airport for this great president. We should name ATL after Donald Trump.
If someone gave you an enema, all they'd be left with is a bag of skin.
ATL already has a glorious name:
Hartsfield Latoya Jackson International Space Port and Glittering Nail Emporium
Please don't ruin it with the Trumpturd's name.
"Hartsfield Latoya Jackson International Space Port and Glittering Nail Emporium"
I'm so stealing that, difficult as it will be to remember. But the Latoya Jackson part is already indelibly seared on my brain. Thank you for this.
@LOA For years I thought it was Fried Chicken Emporium. No wonder every time I book a ticket to Atlanta I end up in Nashville! Glittering nails… OF COURSE!
Find me 12,000 more votes and then name the whole state after me
I appreciate Japanese airports even more.
And just like the U.S., the Philippines names every little thing after someone.
Fukuoka!
Midway is a better candidate for renaming after the Obamas, O’Hare is a worthy recipient of ORD’s name
No. I want the big airport renamed just to trigger Mango Mussolini's penis envy. I am well aware of the Obamas' connection to the South Side, being an alum of The University of Chicago. But I want to both honor him and piss off Trump.
“ I’m not a fan of airports being named after politicians”
He’s more than just a “politician “, he’s literally the best President our nation has ever seen.
Whose MAGA butt fumes have you been huffing?
@Dave Stafford This seems to be a very subjective statement. Some may even disagree with your view.
Spoiler: Dave Stafford is Chinese
Let this happen. If it does, then the Illinois Legislature should immediately rename O'Hare after Barack Obama. Or do an LIT and rename it after Barry and Michelle. That will explode the heads of all of the MAGAtts.
More likely it would be Midway since O'Hare is already named after, well, O'Hare and everyone calls it that. Doubt any MAGA heads would explode, there are three Trump voters in the whole city of Chicago.
No. It has to be the big airport, something that makes PBI look like a mini-mall parking lot. You don't understand Trump's ego.
"...something that makes PBI look like a mini-mall parking lot."
Well, in your favor, PBI *is* kind of a mini-mall parking lot already, so there's that. A RWNJ mini-mall, but a mini-mall nevertheless.
Has an airport ever been named after a president while they were still in office?
Yes . Coolidge airfield .
Coolidge Airfield was built in 1941. Calvin Coolidge died in 1933.
For airports named after presidents, you forgot Abraham Lincoln in Springfield Illinois (SPI)!
And Little Rock is LIT. LIR is in Costa Rica :)
Also Dickinson Theodore Roosevelt (DIK) and Wichita Dwight D. Eisenhower (ICT)
Time to fly from Fresno to DIK…
