Jerry Demings says locals should have a say on naming Palm Beach County airport after Donald Trump

"It's stunning to me that we have a sitting President building and naming monuments after himself. Certainly I would work with the Palm Beach County Airport Authority and that particular community to see if that's something that's important to them. At this point, it does seem a little self-serving by the President to do what he's doing."
