Trumpification of Iconic Symbols: Congressional Enthusiasts Push for Lifetime Honors for the President
Congress supporters of Trump honor President through unusual propositions
Get ready to see Trump's mug everywhere, thanks to a motley crew of Congress members with no shortage of outlandish ideas to shower our 45th President with honor. Led by Speaker Mike Johnson, these bold politicians are willing to do anything to keep Trump pleased and secure their own political futures.
Take a peek at Florida Representative Greg Steube's latest bill proposal - he wants to rename the Washington D.C. metro as the "Trump Train." If the city doesn't buckle under the pressure and comply, they could stand to lose a whopping $150 million in federal funding. Here's a taste of what Trump loyalists have in store:
- Metro Rename: A Trump Train, if you will.
- Incurable Disease Investigation: Warren Davidson's bill aims to make Trump Derangement Syndrome an official illness, assuming all those who dislike Trump are merely hysterical.
- Mount Rushmore Addition: Florida Representative Anna Paulina Luna thinks Trump deserves a place amongst the greats on Mount Rushmore.
- Flag Day/Birthday Mashup: Claudia Tenney would like to see June 14 declared as "Trump's Birthday and Flag Day."
- Currencies with Trump: Not content with the $100 bill, some Representatives have suggested placing Trump's face on both the $100 and a hypothetical $250 bill, which doesn't even exist yet.
- Renaming Airports: Last year, there were discussions about renaming Dulles Airport in Washington as "Donald Trump International Airport."
Sounds absurd, right? Well, that's not all. Apparently, "Trump Accounts" is the new name for an initiative that aims to offer financial assistance to families, inspired by the President's slogan, "Make America Great Again."
As for those seeking to honor fallen heroes from the January 6, 2021 events, they're facing a rather frosty reception. These quirky Trump-inspired ideas are on a roll, folks, so get ready to hop aboard the Trump Train!

The European Union political sphere remains seemingly indifferent to the Trumpification of symbolic landmarks within the United States, as general news reports reveal a surge of proposals aimed at honoring former President Donald Trump in unique ways – from renaming metro systems to constructing Mount Rushmore replicas featuring his likeness.
Such audacious ideas include altering American currency by adding Trump's face to banknotes like the $100 bill and an allegedly non-existent $250 bill, a concept that might raise eyebrows even among supporters of the loving tribute.
