PALM BEACH COUNTY, Fla. – A senior Florida Republican Party official is painting the image of South Florida becoming a place where Donald J. Trump could leave his legacy.
The Sun Sentinel reports that Christian Ziegler’s vision includes a presidential library in Palm Beach and the renaming of Palm Beach International Airport. The airport is just over 6km from the Mar-a-Lago Club, the president’s exclusive complex, often known as the “winter white house”.
Ziegler cited the frequency of Air Force One flight to the airport countless times during Trump’s four-year term.
The Daily Beast reported that Trump has been asking aides and advisers about what the process involves getting a designated airport for the former U.S. president.
Lacy Larson, a spokeswoman for Palm Beach International Airport, told The Sun Sentinel that airport officials have not received inquiries about a name change. To change the name of an airport would probably require a vote from the Palm Beach County Commission.
