One of Donald Trump’s sons got ahead of reports that he lost the first family more than $600 million by posting a cloying online tribute to his father.
“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,” Eric Trump wrote on X in the early hours of Thursday morning.
“There is no person who has done more for Florida and our country, and no one more deserving of this incredible honor,” he went on. “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.”
Eric Trump spearheaded efforts to rename the airport in his father’s honor. He also, according to a Bloomberg report published less than two hours after his post, played a big role in wiping hundreds of millions of dollars from his family’s holdings with a disastrous bet on the crypto industry.
