California Gov. Gavin Newsom has mocked Donald Trump Jr.’s excitable new suck-up to Daddy.
The 48-year-old nepo baby said Tuesday that he was “extremely proud” to share the new all-gold logo for Palm Beach International Airport. It’s set to be renamed President Donald J. Trump International Airport after a proposal passed through the Florida House and Senate in February.
“For the first time, I am extremely proud to share the OFFICIAL logo for the Donald J. Trump International Airport in Palm Beach, Florida,” Trump Jr. said on X, adding that “there is no person more deserving of this incredible honor.”
“Congratulations Dad!” he wrote.
“Looking forward to seeing flights landing at ‘DJT’ very very soon!”
Newsom’s press office was quick to dive in, saying, “Gas prices are up over 50 percent since your dad started a reckless war in Iran.
“But congrats on the airport logo,” the 58-year-old’s team added. “Huge accomplishment!”
Gas prices have surged nationally since Trump’s war in Iran led the Middle Eastern country to close the Strait of Hormuz, a vital conduit for around one-fifth of the world’s oil supply.
The closure has caused a global energy crisis and sent American gas prices soaring, with, as of Wednesday, an average price of $4.536 per gallon, according to AAA.
Newsom’s state has been particularly badly hit, with its average fuel price sitting at $6.160 on the same day.
The company that handles trademarks for Trump, DTTM Operations LLC, filed for trademarks for both “Donald J. Trump International Airport” and “President Donald J. Trump International Airport,” The Miami Herald reports.
The latter is the name being used in Don Jr.’s new logo.
Palm Beach County commissioners greenlit a trademark deal on Tuesday, giving Trump greater control over how his name is used. The outcome is that all airport-branded goods sold in the airport will have to be sold via Trump Organization-approved vendors.
Plus, any information about Trump used in marketing materials will be subject to his veto power.
The trademarks were filed four days before the Florida House vote.
Don Jr.’s new logo looks like a drastically simplified version of the presidential seal, all in his father’s favorite color—gold—and with no fewer than 12 stars around it.
The 1945 seal has an olive branch in one talon, and the other holds arrows. Trump’s rendition has olive branches in both.
It bears a remarkable similarity to the reimagined U.N. logo used for Trump’s so-called Board of Peace, another addition to his cutting-edge design team’s portfolio.
In a statement to the Daily Beast, White House spokesperson Davis Ingle said, “Gavin Newscum is the worst governor in America, and he also may be the dumbest. Anyone who thinks President Trump staged his own assassination attempt is a complete moron.”
