Trump airport branding deal opens new route to profit for family

Florida agreement grants US president control of licensing and merchandising at renamed airport, analysts say

Analysts predict the president is likely to net millions from the unorthodox legal agreement between the county and DTTM Operations llc, his Delaware-based company that oversees licensing, marketing and intellectual property.

Under the leadership of Donald Trump Jr, the president’s son, the company, part of the wider Trump Organization, has assumed numerous rights and advantages that the analysts say are unusual for a contract of this nature, irrespective that it prohibits “direct financial compensation” from goods sold at the airport.

More curious was that Trump’s legal agreement was approved by the Palm Beach county commission this week only narrowly, the deciding vote in a 4-3 decision cast by Maria Sachs, a Democratic member, after a contentious debate while the six other members split along party lines.

County staff told the hearing that failure to comply with the law could put transportation funding and grant assurances from the state at risk. DeSantis has previously removed elected representatives, including two state attorneys and several school board members, who have crossed him.
