Florida Gov. DeSantis signs bill to rename Palm Beach airport after Trump

https://abcnews.com/Politics/florida-gov-desantis-signs-bill-rename-palm-beach/story?id=131557754

Palm Beach International Airport, which Donald Trump flies in and out of when heading to his Mar-a-Lago home in Palm Beach, Florida, is likely set to be renamed in his honor.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a bill Monday, renaming it the President Donald J. Trump International Airport.

According to a release from DeSantis' office, the governor signed a bill from the legislature related to "Commercial Service Airports." That bill, which passed the Florida House and Senate in February, includes the provision that "'Palm Beach International Airport,' shall be renamed as the 'President Donald J. Trump International Airport,' subject to approval of the Federal Aviation Administration" and, per the bill, rights agreements.

Do you know that scene from dictator where the doctor says to the patient your results came back "Alaa Din". Feels closer to reality now.

Why they bother with such small feats? Why don't pass the bill that renames everything and everyone to Trump? Also vocabulary, we could replace all words with Trump, Trump Trump Trump. Trump?

The older you get, the harder it is to get off. DeSantis has his work cut out for him. Keep sucking Ronnie!

I hope it all gets undone with righteous rage when this shit is all over.

TIA would be oddly appropriate, both for the region and the guy. I imagine it feels like having a mini stroke trying to make this seem like a good idea.

Although maybe it's best to just lean into the trend for a little more truth in advertising. If congress decides to sanction his habit of hoarding sensitive government documents, they could call it the "Federal Record Authorized Use for Donald" before he gets his grubby little mitts on them again. "Social Heroic Americans for Trump" would be a good rename for Truth Social.

With any luck, he'll get on camera one day and say:

"These nasty Democrats are at it again. They're saying I can't use classified documents for my business. I told them, "Yes, I can. I can use FRAUD. Look it up in the lawbook. It's there. It's a law "

Also, I had a big, beautiful--it was very lovely--airport named after me and they changed it back. They changed it back to ugly, old "Palm Beach," which no one has ever heard of. Just a terrible experience. I had a TIA flight, but when I landed, they said, "Welcome to Palm Beach." I was so confused. I didn't know where I was. I could hardly speak. The whole thing was a horrible, dizzy, blur.

I was so mad that I posted on my feed right then and there. I SHAT myself, as the kids are saying. Now everyone can see it. It's there. They know it's the Democrats' fault. Sleepy Joe made me do it. Awful guy.

In conclusion, this whole witch-hunt is a nothing burger. My day was just FRAUD, TIA, SHAT myself. Thank you for your attention to this matter."

I look forward to inevitably watching the gravy seals being forced to climb their fat asses up ladders to chisel his name off of buildings from coast to coast.

Just put out the word, and citizen volunteers will have it handled all over the country by end of business on Inauguration Day.

Lolita Express National Airport or Epstein-Trump National Airport. Either one should do.

The Trump Kennedy centre, Trump Boulevard, my airport or me?

I don't get why nearly every post on Lemmy involves Trump. You'd think it's democrat propoganda, but I haven't read anything positive about the Democrats on Reddit or Lemmy in the last two years.

Sharkticon@lemmy.zip · 7 pts · 158d (3 replies)

They said on a three-day-old account that has no posts of its own.

BygoneNeutrino@lemmy.world · -5 pts · 158d (2 replies)

Based on what I've seen on Lemmy in the last three days, I am statistically likely to be a bot. I can't argue with that.

I'm being serious though. I can name every person in Trump's cabinet. I know everything about his policies, some I disagree with, some I don't. I can't name a single Democrat other than Harris and Biden. No one posts anything positive about them.

...as far as Lemmy goes, the community is more obsessed with Trump than the people on Truth Social.

Sharkticon@lemmy.zip · 2 pts · 157d (1 reply)

Right. On Lemmy you've never seen anyone talk about Gavin Newsom or Cory Booker or Chuck Schumer or Hakeem Jeffries or Bernie Sanders or AOC or that stupid fucking ogre from Pennsylvania. Sure...

BygoneNeutrino@lemmy.world · -3 pts · 157d

On my All feed, Trump is specifically mentioned in the title of 7 out of the first 38 posts. This doesn't account for the posts that are primarily about Trump, but don't include his name in the title. 0 out of 38 of the posts are about Democrats or Democrat policy. The only other politician mentioned in the first 38 post titles is DeSantos (1).

Cherries@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 158d (1 reply)

You can't post about what doesn't exist. For positive posts about the Democrats to exist, the Democrats first need to do something positive.

BygoneNeutrino@lemmy.world · -1 pts · 157d

I agree with you there. At the end of the day, the Democrat candidates personally benefit from conservative policies. It isn't a well balanced two party system.

...I'm not necessarily against Trump posts, but this shit ^ is obviously marketing or propoganda. It's bots talking to bots taking to bots. It's dystopian as fuck. The tone is always negative, which says alot about the orginazations that propogate it.
