Trump’s rebranding of Palm Beach airport hasn’t taken off as he planned

Changes inside the Florida international airport are hardly evident as state and county hold back funds for full remodel

One of Donald Trump's most grandiose vanity projects, a multimillion-dollar makeover of Florida's Palm Beach international airport into a self-aggrandizing, gold-plated transportation hub, is running into turbulence, barely a week after the first plane's wheels touched the runway.

At first glance, the rebranding of the airport less than 5 miles from his opulent Mar-a-Lago resort appears to be complete. Its website bears the name and oversized logo of the President Donald J Trump international airport, and state transportation workers were quick to erect highway signs leaving drivers in no doubt where they were heading.
