Eric Trump, the son of President Donald Trump, was ecstatic over the renaming of the Palm Beach International Airport, which drew immediate annoyance on social media.
Palm Beach International Airport was officially renamed President Donald J. Trump International Airport on July 9, reflecting President Trump’s close ties to Palm Beach, home to his Mar-a-Lago estate.
Eric draws criticism after celebrating Donald Trump airport renaming
Eric was effusive in the post’s caption, heaping heartfelt praise on his father. The caption said, “I am deeply honored that at 5:01 a.m., Trump Force One will be the first plane to land at the newly renamed Palm Beach International Airport — now and forever President Donald J. Trump International Airport (DJT). There is no person who has done more for Florida and our country, and no one more deserving of this incredible honor. Eric also said, Congratulations Dad — I’m happy to have played a big role in making this happen,” and expressed his pleasure on seeing “DJT” on his boarding pass.
He ended by thanking Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier, and Member of the Florida House of Representatives Meg Weinberger.
According to RadarOnline, users were quick to turn this praise against Eric, with one saying, “Typically one would omit the ‘big’ from that statement, especially when you’ve achieved so little on your own in life, and it’s all due to the lottery of having been the airport guy’s son.” Another quipped, “The stupid kid had to kiss daddy’s a– for attention and approval all his life.”
Even MAGA supporters called him out, saying, “God forbid your c–t a– father does something for Americans rather than himself. Not what the f–k I voted for c–t.”
The airport’s renaming sparked widespread discussion online, with Eric Trump’s celebratory post drawing criticism from both opponents and some supporters of the president.
