(APe). February 16,2020 President Donald J, Trump has announced that the District of Columbia will be renamed after himself, the 45th President. Proposed names are: Trumpadelphia, Trumpangeles, Trumpcago, and Trump-a-lago. Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has stated that he stands behind the President in this regard and will exert every fiber of his being to ensure that this process is completed expeditiously. Senator Lindsay Graham will be prosecuting all protestors as seditious animals, as he stated: Its not like the city is named after anyone now. President Trump has proven himself worthy of the great honor. Senators Collins and Murkowski have voiced concern over this issue and are awaiting the results of the hearings to carefully decide how they will proceed.
In a related story, military bases are proposed for Maine and Alaska simultaneously with this proposal of renaming. There is talk of recarving Mount Rushmore to show President Trumps visage instead of that guy on the left side.
On edit: I was moved to write this watching the history of Washington on the History Channel.

In another related story, the NPS has been ordered to rename Mount Rushmore to something more formal: Mount Limbaughmore. The OMB feels the costs of renaming will be offset by sales of souvenir Oxycontin and Viagra at the monument's gift shop.
