Eric Trump posted a golden eagle to X Tuesday and called his father the most deserving man alive.
He was talking about an airport.
And no matter how hard Democrats screamed, Florida just put Trump's name on one.
Palm Beach County Votes 4–3 to Make It Official
Palm Beach County commissioners voted 4–3 Tuesday to advance the licensing agreement making "President Donald J. Trump International Airport" the legal name of what used to be Palm Beach International Airport.
Mayor Sara Baxter cast the deciding vote.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis already signed the law mandating the rename on March 30.
The law takes effect July 1.
The licensing deal is between Palm Beach County and DTTM Operations LLC – the company that manages Trump's trademarks.
Under the agreement, the county gets a permanent, royalty-free license to use Trump's name, image and biographical information for signage, merchandise, airport vehicles, uniforms and marketing.

Trump's company receives no royalties.
No licensing fees.
Nothing.
Eric Trump made that clear when he posted the official golden eagle logo to X Tuesday – a crest with stars and stripes, two olive branches, and 12 gold stars surrounding the name "President Donald J. Trump International Airport."
"There is no person more deserving of this incredible honor," Eric Trump wrote.
He signed off: "Looking forward to seeing flights landing at 'DJT' very very soon."
Democrats Called It a "Political Stunt" – Then Lost the Vote
Florida House Democratic Leader Fentrice Driskell did everything she could to kill this.
On the House floor in February, Driskell listed every grievance the left has ever had against Trump – the impeachments, the convictions, the birther stuff, the contractors.
She said his legacy was "incomplete."
The legislature passed the bill anyway.
DeSantis signed it anyway.
The county commissioners approved it anyway.
Driskell's party also complained about the $5.5 million cost for new signage and branding – calling it a waste of taxpayer money.
The same Democrats who spent four years demanding trillion-dollar spending packages are now outraged over $5.5 million to honor the president whose home sits minutes from that airport.
A Palm Beach County pilot even sued to stop the name change, arguing the state law overrides local authority.
That lawsuit hasn't stopped anything.
Reagan Got an Airport. Kennedy Got Two. Now It's Trump's Turn.
Democrats want you to think this is unprecedented.
It isn't.
Eleven American presidents already have airports named after them – including Reagan, both Bushes, Lincoln, Eisenhower and the Clintons.
JFK has two airports.
Reagan's airport was named over fierce opposition from local leaders, DC-area politicians of both parties, and air traffic controllers who never forgave him for the 1981 firings.
The pattern is simple: great presidents get airports.

Trump just won his second term in a landslide, lives in Palm Beach, and is reshaping the entire country from the same ZIP code as that airport.
The only thing unusual here is how fast it happened – and how much it drives the left insane.
Driskell said Trump's legacy was "incomplete."
That's exactly what they said about Reagan in 1998 when Washington National Airport was renamed Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport over fierce Democratic opposition.
Today every Democrat who flies through DCA boards a plane at an airport named after a Republican president.
Starting July 1, every traveler landing in Palm Beach – Democrats included – will be touching down at President Donald J. Trump International Airport.
