Donald Trump is now the first president to have an airport named after him while still in office. And what better way to commemorate this high honor than with lazy AI slop?
Until a few days ago, the Palm Beach International Airport in South Florida was still called the Palm Beach International Airport. Now it’s the President Donald J. Trump International Airport, after a law that his pal and governor of Florida Ron DeSantis signed back in March took effect. Its old logo looked like a riff on Disney’s. Its new one, first revealed by Eric Trump in May, is clearly meant to be a transmogrified Great Seal, rendered — of course — in Trump’s favorite color: gold.
Look past its gaudiness, though, and you’ll notice some things that’re a little off in the finer details. The talons are horribly deformed and shaped differently from each other. The entire legs are uneven, too, and the base of them are represented as a strange conglomeration of blobs, which are also inconsistent. In fact, the whole thing is slightly asymmetrical. The wings have an uneven number of feathers. The two olive branches — why two? — have differing numbers of leaves. And the shield only has eleven stripes, as opposed to the thirteen that the actual Great Seal is supposed to feature.
Have we just spent the past couple of sentences blazoning AI slop? Eagle-eyed and outraged netizens didn’t hesitate to make this diagnosis, with one Reddit thread calling out the Trump logo’s incongruities going viral.
“All the resources in the world and the logo for Trump Airport is AI generated,” the title lamented.
A request for comment to the President Donald J. Trump International Airport went unanswered.
But if the logo is AI-generated, as it strongly appears to be, it shouldn’t be surprising. The Trump administration has eagerly embraced using AI to churn out propaganda so cheap and base that it could be mistaken for satire. Some are calling this “slopaganda,” and most of the time it’s used to attack the administration’s enemies or mythologize Trump.
Last fall, Trump posted an AI generated video of himself as a fighter pilot strafing peaceful protestors with barrages of liquid diarrhea. This was mostly received with bafflement. But in April, when he depicted himself as both Jesus Christ and the Pope, he sparked genuine outrage among the deeply Christian wing of his supporters. More banally, Trump has also used AI to advertise his numerous vanity projects, such as posting an AI-generated video of his White House ballroom.
In a sense, maybe his new airport logo is kind of a perfect use case for AI. The displaying of the US Great Seal is highly restricted, so it’s unlikely that an airport in Florida would be authorized to flaunt it as a logo, even if Trump himself wanted it to. But…
