Starting July 1, Palm Beach International Airport will be renamed the Donald J Trump International Airport after Governor Ron DeSantis signed a bill on the matter on Monday. The airport will have the identifier “DJT.”

Florida’s House and Senate voted overwhelmingly in February in support of the renaming, with the House voting 81-30 in favor and the Senate 25-11 in favor. The renaming is contingent on FAA approval and an agreement between Palm Beach County and Trump to use his name.

In a stunning display of hometown hospitality that screams "what could possibly go wrong," Palm Beach International Airport is getting a rebrand inspired by, well, the man who made golf cart motorcades a thing: Donald J. Trump. Governor DeSantis and the Florida legislature, showing the kind of bipartisan zeal usually reserved for missing puppies, just can’t wait for FAA approval to slap those DJT initials on your boarding passes. Representative Mast insists this will immortalize Trump’s "historic legacy," which is as subtle as a Twitter tantrum, while State Rep Meg Weinberger nicely notes this is the first time a Florida resident actually got to name an airport after himself—er, herself—while still enjoying the breeze at Mar-a-Lago. Because if you’re going to inflate someone’s ego, why wait for posthumous grandeur when you can just do it preemptively, right by the baggage claim?
