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. As a son, and someone who flies out of this airport nearly every day, I will forever be proud to see the initials “DJT” on my boarding pass. Congratulations Dad — I’m happy to have played a big role in making this happen. Thanks to @megforflorida, @GovRonDeSantis, @AGJamesUthmeier, and so many others for your incredible support.

“What’s your body count?” someone asked the conductor on Instagram. “16,” he responded, like he was providing his shirt size.

Problems ahead for Ron and Casey DeSantis. It looks like their Hope Florida program was really a political slush fund. Donors gave big to DeSantis’ marijuana campaign after getting $10M from Hope Florida miamiherald.com/news/politic…

Replying to @RepMariaSalazar @DHSgov @SecNoem
This is a lie. I am a lawyer challenging Secretary Noem’s illegal termination of TPS. Secretary Noem lost in court. Venezuelan TPS holders are thus protected while the case proceeds. This is not because of, but despite, Secretary Noem’s illegal actions. aclunc.org/sites/default/fil…
