That's nice.

It's charming.

Okay.

They renamed it after Donald Trump.

I didn't realize this part of that, though.

As part of that, he got the trademark and the licensing rights to the airport.

Okay.

And so he gets to profit off merchandise sold there, not just like the Donald Trump, you know, MAGA shirts.

But like if somebody, if a tourist, you know, flies in, it's like, I want a Palm Beach airport hat, even if it doesn't say Donald Trump's name on it.

Donald Trump now gets a licensing fee on that.

This is a public sector thing.

service it's not like you bought a hotel this is a fucking airport this is a public service anyway the story got even worse ron de sanctimonious got involved with us the county staff told the commissioners that they wanted to reject the name change or change the rules around the licensing and de santis told them that that would put their transportation funding at risk you know they wouldn't get their like road repair money from the state government that's an insane story

I want to get to that.

One more thing just on the airport, because this is why this bothers me, I think.

In some ways, I almost want to give them respect.

Is that why you're upset?

In theory, maybe.

That's not it.

But why it bugs me is, I almost want to tip the cap of respect to this petty level of corruption.

They made a multi-billion dollar crypto deal, and the UAE is paying them off.
