It _would_ be pretty much on-brand for Trump to put his name on an airline that’s known for poor customer satisfaction ([it was rated the worst among major US carriers in a study released today](https://www.usatoday.com/story/travel/airline-news/2026/04/23/best-worst-airlines-customer-satisfaction-acsi/89751936007/)) and poor financial management. ---

He could rename it Trump Shuttle, but I think that name has already been taken. ---

It pisses me off that I have anything in common with Trump. He wants his first Trump-class ship to be named the USS _Defiant._ And he clearly borrowed from Starfleet’s emblem when coming up with a flag for Space Force. Dammit, he and I are both _Star Trek_ fans. He’s called for the filming of _Rush Hour 4._ Dammit, he and I are both _Rush Hour_ fans. He has blasted music from _The Phantom of the Opera_ in the Oval Office. Dammit, he and I both love _Phantom!_ ---

That doesn’t mean he’s a Star Trek fan. He just grabbed the first name and emblem AI showed him. ---
