In a bit of mostly unimportant but quite fun news that broke on Tuesday, July 8, President Donald Trump celebrated the fact that the authorities in Palm Beach County had decided to name a very busy stretch of roadway in their corner of Miami after him, a minor honor and show of gratitude to the president that he quite appreciated.
As background, the idea of renaming the 4-mile stretch of Southern Boulevard that runs from the Palm Beach International Airport to the president’s home and country club resort at Mar-a-Lago has long been discussed and considered, and cheered by the president as it was thought of, but wasn’t decided upon until Tuesday/
Then, the Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners convened and voted unanimously in favor of the resolution to rename the four-mile stretch of the very highly trafficked road after the president. The busy bit of roadway will now, thanks to the vote, be known as “President Donald J Trump Boulevard.”
Trump took to Truth Social to highlight the news and thank the authorities for the honor. Beginning the post, he highlighted his electoral victories in the state and noted that the stretch of road has been named for him, saying, “It has been brought to my attention that the Great State of Florida, which I won BIG three times, and where I am a proud Resident, has renamed an important four-mile stretch of Southern Boulevard, in Palm Beach County, to ‘PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP BOULEVARD.’”
Continuing, he thanked everyone involved for the “wonderful honor” that had been delivered to him, praising the state generally as he did so. He said, “Thank you to Palm Beach County, Governor Ron DeSantis, and all of Florida’s great State Lawmakers, on granting me this wonderful honor! I LOVE FLORIDA!”
The new sign that will designate the stretch of road as “President Donald J Trump Boulevard” will be installed sometime this year, though the name is a ceremonial one, so postal addresses for those along the stretch will continue to be “Southern Boulevard.” Still, the honor will remind many on the busy stretch of the president.
While the president was excited to share the news of the new road name honoring him, he has been much more focused on serious matters. For example, also on Tuesday the 8th, he announced a major new suite of tariffs that will target countries hostile to America, such as those involved in various BRICS schemes to displace the United States.

Explaining that there will be no extentions and the tariffs will be collected starting on the first day of August, the president said, “As per letters sent to various countries yesterday, in addition to letters that will be sent today, tomorrow, and for the next short period of time, TARIFFS WILL START BEING PAID ON AUGUST 1, 2025.”
Emphasizing his point that there will not be changes or extensions, he added, “There has been no change to this date, and there will be no change. In other words, all money will be due and payable starting AUGUST 1, 2025 – No extensions will be granted. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”
