Florida’s Palm Beach International Airport was officially renamed President Donald J. Trump International Airport on Thursday after Governor Ron DeSantis signed enabling legislation. The former name had stood for nearly 50 years. In a social media post responding to the change, President Donald Trump predicted the facility would become one of the world’s greatest. The rebranding is part of a broader push to place Trump’s name and image on landmarks, banknotes, and government programs—breaking the U.S. tradition of avoiding such honors for living leaders. Critics compare the trend to personality cults in authoritarian regimes, while supporters argue Trump’s prominence in the region justifies the honor. Eric Trump landed at the renamed airport in the family’s private plane.
