'Grifter in chief' already set to profit off of Palm Beach airport

On his way back home to Washington, President Donald Trump spoke to the press about how he would profit if the Palm Beach airport changed its name to honor him.

Attacked by Florida leaders as the "grifter in chief," Trump's trademark would allow him to profit from any and all airport merchandise bearing the airport's name.

So, Florida lawmakers proposed a slight amendment to the legislation, changing the name, that would bar anyone from profiting from name royalties, licensing, or trademark fees, according to Florida Politics.

State Sen. Shevrin Jones, the next Senate Democratic Leader, proposed the amendment that was shot down by Republicans.

Reports that he referenced show that Trump's intellectual property portfolio has "three trademark applications to reserve his name for use as the brand of an airport," said the news site.

“You say that you are allies. But I need you to be accomplices to the Black community,” he said.

“This (has) nothing to do with party (or) race. This has everything to do with the state of Florida figuring out what our litmus test is going to be when we say (what) enough is enough is supposed to be. I would think members, that this is where enough stops," Jones continued.

Sate senate Democratic leader Lori Berman pointed out that Palm Beach voted against Trump in the 2024 elections. The trademark issue, she said, was “very troubling.”
