Again I say, I bet he pees on everything too.

@Nonilex
He’ll be the only president who gets things un-named after him when he dies
The #Trump admin has pressured Sen #ChuckSchumer (D-NY) the minority leader, to help rename #NewYork’s #PennStation & Washington #Dulles International Airport after Trump in exchange for releasing billions of dollars in #funding he has frozen for a #rail tunnel under the Hudson River.
Top admin ofcls have told Schumer in recent weeks that the money would be released if he agreed to name the facilities in Trump’s honor, acc/to 4 people familiar with the private conversations.
@Nonilex The answer has to be "No, and fuck you for asking" which means Schumer isn't the man for the job.
The push to rename the station & the airport for #Trump comes as the president, who recently put his name on the #KennedyCenter for the Performing Arts in Washington, has been on a renaming spree & has appeared increasingly preoccupied with his “legacy” [ego].
The Trump admin began withholding #funding for the new tunnel connecting #NYC & #NewJersey, a $16B project, in October. The agency overseeing its construction moved to halt ongoing work on Friday as money was running out.
@Nonilex someone needs to keep a list of EVERY name change so on day one after we rid ourselves of this unfit, poor excuse we can change them all back.
i think renaming the tunnel "TACO tunnel" and renaming Penn Station to "Obama Nobel Peace Prize Station" would be a perfect response.
@Nonilex - The day that Trump dies (and that can't come a moment too soon), there is going to be a spree of removing any "Trump" name wherever he has managed to insert it. With any luck his legacy will be that he and his regime are erased from the collective memories of the world as soon as possible - only allowing that we must NEVER permit his like again (but of course we will 'cos we love authoritarian monsters and former TV and film "stars").
#Trump & Schumer met at the White House last month to discuss the frozen funds.
Though he is the top #Senate #Democrat, Schumer has NO direct #oversight over either transportation hub & rebuffed the request, acc/to 2 of the people.
Trump, known for affixing his name to NYC high-rises & Atlantic City hotels, has appeared to be undertaking a similar drive on a national scale during his second term.
Beyond the #KennedyCenter, #Trump & his allies have stamped his name on the US Institute of Peace & public-facing federal projects like investment accounts for American children & TrumpRx, a website that supposedly will help Americans buy medication directly from drugmakers. [He also added his name randomly throughout the State Department building.]
But withholding money from the tunnel over the names of #PennStation, the busiest train station in the country, would be a significant escalation of the effort to ensure #Trump’s “legacy”, tying it to a project that would have massive ripple effects across the East Coast.
The project, known as #Gateway, sits at the heart of the Northeast Corridor #rail route that runs from Boston to Washington & is the most-used passenger line in the #US.

@Nonilex
Landfills, sewage treatment plants, and prisons are the types of things that should be named after that sad little man
@Nonilex Name the Penn Station men's room ICE has been entrapping people in after him and put a big mural of his face on the floor next to the urinals. Invite Gus Kenworthy to christen it.
It includes the construction of a new two-track tunnel connecting #NewYork & #NewJersey, which are linked by 116-year-old tunnels in such poor condition that #trains are often delayed, creating a bottleneck.
The new tunnel will be crucial to avoiding a disruption in #rail service around New York City that would have drastic effects on the national #economy.
