Trump Could Profit From Airport Name Change

February 18, 2026 · 5:33 pm ET · Leave a Comment

“As the Florida Legislature ramps up efforts to rename the Palm Beach International Airport after President Donald Trump, a recent trademark filing has some state lawmakers wondering if the Trump family is looking to profit,” CNN reports.

“The House bill to rename the south Florida hub the President Donald J. Trump International Airport passed the state’s House of Representatives 81-30 on Tuesday. But some Democrats raised concerns about related trademark applications that were filed last week by the private entity that handles licenses and trademarks for the Trump Organization.”
