Palm Beach Renames Southern Boulevard for Trump (Full Transcript)

[00:00:00] Speaker 1: Formerly known as Southern Boulevard, this is the four-mile stretch between Palm Beach International Airport and Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago Club. The Palm Beach County Council and Board of County Commissioners voted on a resolution last year to rename the road.

[00:00:12] Speaker 2: I am honored to stand before you as the sponsor of the legislation that established President Donald J. Trump Boulevard.

[00:00:19] Speaker 3: So that when people see that the beautiful sign is all lit up nice at night and it says Donald J. Trump Boulevard, they'll be filled with pride.

[00:00:28] Speaker 1: The reaction has been pretty mixed.

[00:00:30] Speaker 4: Can I be honest?

[00:00:32] Speaker 1: Yeah.

[00:00:33] Speaker 4: No.

[00:00:34] Speaker 1: Why?

[00:00:34] Speaker 4: Because no. There'll be Southern Boulevard for a long time before there'll be a president. I don't think it's fair.

[00:00:43] Speaker 3: I say it would be great. We love our president. Why not? He's good, yeah. He's good. He did it good for the people, public.

[00:00:50] Speaker 2: They are happy. Absolutely not. Fidel did it.

[00:00:55] Speaker 4: That's why I left Cuba. Fidel Castro. Same thing. Love it.

[00:00:59] Speaker 3: Love it? Great idea. Alright. All for it. I honestly could care less.

[00:01:06] Speaker 1: And this is actually not the first time that a sitting U.S. president has had a South Florida road renamed in his honor. At the light, turn left onto President Donald J. Trump Boulevard, Southern Boulevard. Here we go. Google Maps says it's a 15-minute drive from Trump Boulevard to Obama Highway. Make a U-turn. I made a wrong turn on Donald J. Trump Boulevard. Just 10 miles away, the President Barack Obama Highway. Dedicated in 2015.
