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.

Codes?
I need to reconsider and research Trump. Looks like he would fit in well here in SC.
Wow! They’re faster than Stalin.
The straw that broke the camels back?
It would be a good time for Trump to respond as Reagan did to the ATC.....you are fired.
It is good to get all of these pantywaist’s on record. It will be easier to exterminate them and the rest of the vermin when the exterminator arrives.
The stupid...it BURNS!
No doubt about it. This is a direct order by one of the Obama stooges at the FAA who was similarly ordered directly by someone at the White House.
