Yesterday, Eric Trump bragged on X: “Palm Beach International Airport is now officially…. ‘President Donald J. Trump International Airport!’”
He included a photo of a gold-lettered Trump plane sitting on the tarmac.
That’s right, the Florida legislature took precious time and resources to do this, voting 81-30 in favor of the renaming, and now Florida taxpayers will be charged $2.75 million just for new signage and rebranding.
As a former member of MAGA, I can tell you exactly why Trump obsesses over things like this. To him, claiming the airport as his own is a flex. It’s a message loud and clear: This is his town. MAGA’s town.
Leaving MAGA is sending a message back.
They named the airport. We want the billboard on the road that leads to it.
We’ve been raising money to purchase multiple billboards right in Trump’s backyard.
“Having doubts about MAGA? Welcome Home” is the counter-message that anyone coming in or out of Palm Beach will see, three miles from the airport.
PUT THIS BILLBOARD THREE MILES FROM THE AIRPORT
Our initial goal for our first round of billboard purchases is $10,000. As I write this, we’ve raised $3,318 on this page — (check our live progress here). That leaves $6,682 to go to reach our first goal and fund multiple billboards near Mar-a-Lago, plus seed our next billboard location.
Tonight closes out Q1 — and this airport rename just handed us the perfect moment to prove the point.
Remember, billboard spots sell out fast, so even if we raise all $10,000 today, our billboards won’t go up until late May. That means the clock is ticking on both our fundraising and the locations we’re looking at.
Let’s finish out this quarter strong by sending a message back to Trump: You can rename the airport, but you don’t own this town.
Thanks for being with us on this odyssey,
Rich
