Ptoblem here is trump wants every airport renamed for him. They can’t all be DJT nor [his f-ing name] international airport".
What a coincidence! Trump recently applied for trademarks for “Donald J. Trump International Airport” and “DJT”.
Inside Trump airport trademark bid: Pet clothing, plastic socks, watches, more
A bill was introduced in the U.S. House, in January 2025, to rename Dulles to Donald J. Trump International Airport. So long as the Senate filibuster remains, it has no chance of passage.
I have to correct my last post, when I said no living national leaders had airports named after them,
If you count Vatican City as a nation, I should mention that a Polish airport was named after John Paul II while Pope. And several U.S. airports have been named after former presidents while living, including Jerry Ford, Bill Clinton, and Bush the Elder. These renamings may have been of questionable wisdom, but are nothing like the badness of naming stuff after the current leader.
The Wilmington Delaware train station was named after Joe Biden while he was the serving vice-president. Biden, unlike Trump, was no dictator, but naming a federal facility after a currently serving politician is always wrong.
In anticipation that Trumpers may start using the 2011 “Joseph R. Biden, Jr., Railroad Station” renaming event as a justification for Trump’s cult of personality renamings:
After a bit of googling, it appears to me that the renaming of Wilmington Station was more or less honorary, with no big signs added or removed or covered over, with most schedules ignoring the name, and with the renaming being virtually forgotten by the time Biden became president. It was a bad move for Biden to allow such a thing, but nothing like putting Trump’s name on the dollar coin, and the complete renaming of the Kennedy Center, Palm Beach Airport, U.S. Institute of Peace, Southern Blvd (now President Donald Trump Boulevard), etc.
They can call it Dulles-Trump as long as they move the hyphen one letter to the right.
Ha! It’s funny how the pronunciation is identical.
Of course the real point of the trademarking is that then the airport will be forced to pay trump money every day for the use of his name.
Clinton?
“Brought to you by Carl’s Jr!”
(life imitating Idiocracy again, for any who did not catch the reference)
Though, it was renamed for them after Bill left office.
My bad. I did post a correction about an hour later. But checking some more, I see that even that correction was wrong.
I think the best point of comparison is cases where an airport, in the country a head of state (or head of government) ruled, was renamed with the name of that ruler while they were in power.
I have now found two prior examples where the ruler was still in power.
Saddam Hussein’s regime renamed Baghdad International Airport to Saddam International Airport in 1982.
Robert Mugabe’s regime renamed Harare International Airport to Robert Gabriel Mugabe International Airport on November 9, 2017.
By the way, Mugabe was deposed about two weeks later.
The point of course is that this is something dictators do.
And IAH before that.
And Reagan National:
But none of these were renamed when the honoree was still in office.
ETA: didn’t see the followup with the relevant Saddam Hussein and Robert Mugabe comparisons.
If one is known by the company they keep, trump is wannabe in company that suits him well.
I found one more airport renaming example. Now I think I’ll stop searching 
Astana International Airport was renamed Nursultan Nazarbayev International Airport in 2017.
Nazarbayev had won 98 percent of the Kazakhstan presidential vote in 2015, and yet, just four years later, in the wake of widespread persistent protests, he resigned.
Getting an international airport named for you doesn’t seem to help a strongman stay in power. Maybe the honor DeSantis is trying to confer on Donald should be declined.
As evidenced by his war… plans.
I saw your stereotypical jacked-up pickup flying an American flag and a Trump flag from the bed just yesterday, the first one in months.
I think you misspelled “asshole.”
Or maybe it should be accepted, in hope that the trend continues!?!
Of course he’s gonna accept it - having people pay [ETA: him] for the privilege of using his name is like catnip to Trump.
This isn’t the biggest horror of the day — that might be the executive order on voting — but he’s trying to intimidate SCOTUS:
Eh, he’s probably planning on a good nap that day.
He probably thinks – no, wrong word – assumes that glaring at HIS justices will intimidate them into doing his bidding.
