What an International disgrace. Folks from other countries flying in and wondering why we are naming this airport after a convicted felon especially as he is now despised world wide.

These are the same people who proudly support monuments to Confederate soldiers. They don’t change who they support. Racists.

With everything national going on, thank you for keeping us locally informed. All these shanaigans slip through the cracks, although they add to the worries. I love my paradise... HATE the politics.

If they put his name on that airport, I’ll never use it again. How awful who the hell wants to fly into an airport with a name like that dump Trump airport

State Republican politicians have raised ass-kissing to an artform. For 50 years I was a registered Republican till Donald Trump came along. My values haven't changed, but my ethics and moral values cannot support a bunch of clowns whose sole purpose is to make themselves richer on the coat tails of Mr. Trump's illegal and unethical actions.

i am a native Floridian and have watched in disbelief as Republican governor after Republican governor has endeavored to destroy Florida as we knew it. Jeb Bush, awful Rick Scott and now the absolute worst, Ron DeSantis! It's disheartening to begin with to see Mr. Trump put his name on everything he can and then attempt to do the same in Florida (which, we all know, is NOT his native state!). We, the people have absolutely no input any more, it seems, unless we are part of the Trump Republican party. We are still the United States of America, not the United States of Trump and this naming everything after himself should stop! We have lost respect and our standing in the world, thanks to a convicted felon serial sexual abuser and now it seems, we will have to see his name everywhere. And, please remember, it is not just Florida ... it is anywhere he chooses to praise himself.

Leave it up to the repukelicans of florida to want to name an international airport after a thirty four felony convicted fraudster and sexual predator. How ridiculously embarrassing. Hey, whatever they what to name it anyway, cause it won't be an international airport. Because tourists are not coming to Florida or the United States. Thanks to the hateful Maga Trump cult and the leader of the pack the world renowned con man Donald j.Trump. It's unbelievable how low they will bend over to suck on his ruptured butthole.

Disgraceful and disgusting. The idea of naming anything after either of those two sickens me. Love my retired life in Florida but hate the politics.

I spent a year in Franco's fascist Spain and I can tell you that the fascist of fascists did not do nor allow this kind of silly self-promotion. Perhaps Franco was ashamed for overthrowing an elected government and killing many thousands of his fellow Spaniards, but he kept a low-profile. It is amazing to me that I can compare Franco favorably to Trump.

"Fawning" is the right word to use. It is a learned reaction to dangerous situations taught by abusive parents in early childhood. The natural reaction is the fight-or-flight response ingrained in all animals possessing welfare-aligned cognition by four-billion years of natural selection.

Of course, names for airports are chosen by the airport's owner (subject to FAA and ICAO approval), which in the case of Palm Beach County Airport is ... wait for it ... Palm Beach County! If MAGA morons had control of Palm Beach County, they wouldn't need legislation to give them the right to change the name. Since they don't (as the Palm Beach County Commission has a 4-3 Democratic majority), it's hard to see how the Florida Legislature can constitutionally write a law that usurps the county commission's right to call what it owns by whatever name it wants. That's a pretty basic right!

But, of course, MAGA morons don't care about anyone else's rights.

FloriDumb rises to the occasion of craven fawning once again. However, remember that whatever can be named during one administration can be unnamed during the next.

Doesn't he already have a park named after him? That should be enough. I love that Machado gave him her Nobel Peace Prize, and he didn't give her Venezuela!
