Governor Ron DeSantis has quietly signed legislation on Monday (30th March 2026) for renaming of the Palm Beach International Airport after Republican president Trump. This decision of government will eventually be a massive and costly rebranding just to honor Trump.
The state Republicans fought for the renaming of the airport during the Florida’s regular lawmaking session arguing that it would be a fitting way to recognise the Trump as the first President who resides in Florida. However, the Democrats have criticised the idea as they oppose Trump’s policies and questioned the potential price of the rebranding.
Instead of DeSantis signing the bill with little fanfare as of Monday evening, Florida Republicans celebrated it quickly. The state GOP heralded the move as landmark tribute for the President, while his son, Eric Trump pays gratitude to DeSantis, Attorney General James Uthmeier, the Florida house and bill sponsor state Rep. Meg Weinberger for making the renaming of airport after his father’s name.
The opposition has slammed the government over the millions of dollars Florida is likely to spend in the rebranding of the airport after the name of pedophile President of America.

The people of Florida did not ask for this. It’s clear Tallahassee Republicans care more about political stunts than they care about your wallet.”
Ahead of Florida passes the legislation, the Trump family company has filed three trademark applications for “DJT”, “Donald J Trump International Airport” , and “President Donald J Trump International Airport”.
