Three navigation coordination points above Palm Beach International Airport that had been named in honor of Donald J. Trump will be renamed, the Federal Aviation Administration said Wednesday.
“In general, the F.A.A. chooses names that are noncontroversial,” said an agency spokeswoman, Laura Brown.
A growing number of businesses have been severing ties with Mr. Trump since the Republican presidential candidate made derogatory remarks about Mexican immigrants in a campaign speech. That includes NBC, which aired Mr. Trump’s show, “The Apprentice.”
In 2010, an air traffic controller who was a fan of Mr. Trump’s reality show and its catchphrase, “You’re fired,” named some of the navigation points that pilots use for takeoff from the airport DONLD, TRMMP and UFIRD.

Wait until Obama goes out of fashion in a few years...they will have to re-rename half the public schools in the country...
Imagine, spending your whole existence searching for obscure things, words, historical trivia to be offended over.
I'm sorry. These people are too stupid to be allowed out in public. After a thorough beating, they must be parachuted randomly into the Amazon jungle. They can then learn, by OJT, the fine art of self reliant survival, or not...
Oh, without a doubt; all things fascist originate in the white house.
At least Trump doesn’t have to worry about any statues being bulldozed in follow-on acts of warm & fuzzy PC.
Wow!!! the propaganda is really taking hold.....Palm Beach International Airport so bullied they will do this? Who makes this decision? Make those who were soooooooooooo offended to speak publicly , lets have their names!
Do you mind if I steal that as a tagline?
Or Bill Clinton, Anthony Weiner, Elliot Spitzer, the Kennedys?
Trump Cleansing, just like Confederate Cleansing.
It’s all political.
Hopefully the confusion it will cause doesn’t result in an aviation incident.
No problem.
Plenty more where that came from, with this bunch in power (unfortunately).
I assumed this was satire but it is not. Good grief, has Trump gotten under their very thin skin! This is so silly and petty it is amazing. Trump is right, the government is full of morons.

What surprises me is the discovery that there are Liberals bright enough to accomplish the relatively complex task of flying an aircraft.
Fly into Kalakaket Creek AS in Alaska. That’s KKK.
So, the Federal Gubment, nowadays, picks sides?
Thanks :-)
I forgot about that. Homo milk could refer to Harvey or the dairy product.
There’s got to be only a relative handful of people that know these codes and an even smaller number that were offended AND took the time to complain. I’m guessing you could count on your fingers with room to spare.
