Trump pressing aides on how to get an airport named after him: report

[hellno45]

According to a report from the Daily Beast, Donald Trump is now looking past leaving the White House and querying close aides on what he has to do to get an airport named after himself as part of his legacy.

The president -- who has made a career of slapping his name on buildings and a multitude of products including a failed university and bottles of wine -- reportedly believes his four years in office is worthy of being honored with an airport naming and has been asking how he goes about making it happen.

As the Beast's Asawin Suebsaeng reports, two aides admitted that the president has been sending out feelers, which also include making sure the airport chosen doesn't have "a bad reputation or crumbling infrastructure," and asked if paperwork is needed to get the process rolling.

Maybe he could start his own Airlines off the money he has grifted while in office, call it TrumpAir specializing in one way trips to Moscow

[beachbumbob]

1. putin would help for one in Russia, after all he deserves it

[Roisin Ni Fiachra]

9. They love him so much, they may name both a city and airport for him.

Trumpushagrad International Airport.

[Walleye]

2. "Fools' names and fools' faces are always seen in public places"-my mom

[flor-de-jasmim]

3. Maybe one near the bridge to nowhere, in Alaska,

where he can watch Putin's come up into US air space.

[dalton99a]

4. He might issue an executive order to rename the Kennedy Space Center after himself

[Coleman]

21. No, probably one of the Space Force bases

Such as Cape Canaveral or Patrick

[appleannie1]

57. I think it should be Front Gate Naval Air Engineering Station Lakehurst, Manchester Township, NJ

[leftyladyfrommo]

22. That wouldn't surprise me at all. nt

[kairos12]

5. They should

rename various Potters' Fields after him for to remember all the people he killed.

[Delmette2.0]

63. What's that island out side of NYC?

No, not Riker's (but maybe. lol) The real indigent potter's field.

The thing is, everything he touches dies. So just start with an indigent cemetery on an island.

[Cha]

6. FO trump.. you already have a Virus

named after you.

[panader0]

42. This

[Denzil_DC]

7. There must be a sewage sludge tanker somewhere that needs naming? n/t

[Blue_true]

71. That is way to good for him, it performs a needed public function.

Maybe a half-rotten-down outhouse in a seldom used national park would be a fitting edifice for his name.

[lkinwi]

8. I'm glad that I quit flying.

[Roland99]

10. Maybe Putin will name a terminal in moscow after him

[Paladin]

11. Beyond pathetic. (nt)

[CurtEastPoint]

12. here ya go, fucker.

[MineralMan]

13. Maybe a sewage processing facility named after him?

That might be easier to get.

[lastlib]

46. These are already known as "trump dumps".

a good place to dump your trump--IF they're stocked with trump paper.

[Pobeka]

14. Perhaps a county airport that transports prisoners would be appropriate. n/t

[CaptYossarian]

39. Where was Conair filmed?

Actually, my first pick was Roswell.

[mopinko]

[tinrobot]

16. Two jumbo jets collided in Tenerife.

Maybe name a toilet at that airport after him.

[AllaN01Bear]

17. not here , no way , no how.

when washington dc international was named after ron raygun , that did it.

[jimfields33]

23. Why do republicans get named airports but not Democratic Presidents

Reagan and Bush 1 both have them. That two in current times. No carter, Clinton or Obama. Why? They deserve one as well.

[AllaN01Bear]

27. ive been questioning that as well.

[CTyankee]

30. Uh, JFK?

It's kinda big ya know. Nice airport if you wanna fly to Europe. Handy little rinky dink airport...

[jimfields33]

49. Lol. I said current time. JFK is a long time ago.

Good grief.

[CTyankee]

52. Not to me. I remember it as Idlewild. It got the name JFK because his assassination had us all in

a state of shock.

[jimfields33]

53. A small percentage is left who were around then. I'm glad you are still with us.

You are special to be able to live so long. I’m glad for that.

[CTyankee]

54. I am only 81. I married a younger man after I divorced an older, and quite awful, husband.

But he is the father of my 3 children.

I guess you can call me sadder, but wiser.

[jimfields33]

59. So happy you found someone worthy of you.

[CTyankee]

60. well, thanks, that's nice!

I found a helluva lot more I could do without that first husband. Went back to school, got a Master's degree, wrote my first book, now writing my second.

It's all good!

[muriel_volestrangler]

66. Bill and Hillary Clinton National Airport

Little Rock: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clinton_National_Airport named in 2012.

Jimmy Carter Regional Airport, Sumter County, Georgia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jimmy_Carter_Regional_Airport named 2009

[malaise]

18. Name all airport toilets after him

That is all

[Maeve]

25. We're already halfway there--they are johns

So just don-john and you have it! (even better since he hates his middle name)

[malaise]

31. Perfect

[mitch96]

28. Ahhhh yes, the new and improved for 2021 tRump-0-matic EZ flush. Raise your arse off the seat

and it automagically picks your pocket....
m

[malaise]

32. DU is a riot

[bullwinkle428]

19. In the spirit of bipartisanship, I'm more than happy to see a landfill

"graced" with his name!

[malaise]

34. Call it The Trump Swamp n/t

[JHB]

20. I'm sure there's something appropriate somewhere.

Drug smuggler airstrips come to mind.

Does it need to be in this country? If not, it opens up lots of candidates.

[NRaleighLiberal]

24. I think we can all just start naming dog turds for trump

Then the Next Door app can simplify the dog poop wars - "someone didn't clean up the trump on my lawn"

[lastlib]

47. "Dumping a trump" is already a euphemism in my house for the dirty business in the toilet.

Keep plenty of trump paper on hand..........

[Larissa]

26. Unacceptable: "a bad reputation or crumbling infrastructure"

" . . . the president has been sending out feelers . . . " The president *is* a feeler.

[skip fox]

29. How about an airport high in the Andes with dangerous cross winds making landing impossible.

[C_U_L8R]

33. Trump Field

Sounds more like a sewage processing plant.


Besides, don't states name and operate most commercial airports (vs fed govt) ?

[nykym]

35. If he really insists maybe this one would work

Deemed the smallest airport in America by the Federal Aviation Administration, the Dawson Community Airport serves fewer than 3,000 passengers per year, according to Airport World. The airport has one airline, Cape Air, which operates two daily flights from this airport to Billings, Montana, for $52. Still, the airport has 4.8 out of 5 stars on Google. It might be time to fly out of an extremely small airport.

[walkingman]

36. Just don't give him a library - he obviously has never read a book.

[LiberalFighter]

37. A prison

[Buns_of_Fire]

38. And what would an airport be without a welcoming statue of Dear Leader?

[Firestorm49]

40. 317000 people dead and all this idiot can think of is himself and his damn golf clubs.

[MuseRider]

41. 30 odd years ago

we used to fly in and out of an airstrip we nicknamed Caldera del Diablo. It would be perfect. On an island off of Honduras, Guanaja. A small shed with a light bulb (you had to check in early but could not fly until it was light outside) with an outhouse and a bench that would seat only 2. An old DC3 would fly in and out of there. Funny thing, the inside of the plane was the very same vinyl as the floor in my old kitchen. If it is the same now as it was then it would be perfect.

Even better, the plane had flames coming out of the uncovered hole in the wing where the pilot put the gas. He stopped on the runway (very short coral runway) went out on the wing and stuffed a rag in the hole and we took off. A flying Molotov cocktail!

What could be more perfect to remember Trump by.

[snowybirdie]

43. He's already

bankrupted one airline, The Trump Shuttle.

[cojoel]

44. I think we could name Guantanamo Naval Air Station after him

It could be like the old "hair club for men", where he could say "I'm not only the namesake but I'm also a member".

[marmar]

45. Well he did assert that the Revolutionary Army protected our airports from the British in 1775....

.... so clearly he's an expert on U.S. aviation history.

[helpisontheway]

48. Wonder how long it will take for him to realize that his name is not worth shit

anymore. Businesses will not be so quick to slap his name on their buildings.

[Takket]

50. The only thing I want to see named after him...

Is a massive anti-corruption bill to make sure no one like him ever happens to our country Again.

[kysrsoze]

51. "Loser Fuckface Regional Airport" just doesn't have the right ring to it.

[ProfessorGAC]

64. That Name Is All Wrong Anyway

Now, if you had said LYING, Loser, Fuckface, I might be ok with it!

[struggle4progress]

55. Why not just issue an executive order re-naming ALL airports after himself?

That could really simplify ticketing: "I'm on your 11:30 to Trump, continuing to Trump at 2:45"

[lpbk2713]

56. I would like to see them do just that.

And then on January 21 have Joe rename it Dr Fauci Airport. Trump would fly into a rage.

[Dread Pirate Roberts]

58. Don't be an asshole and do a good job as president

too late for both of those things. You're out of luck Mr. Trump. Maybe a small civil aviation airport might sell the naming rights-there's a concept you understand.

[nolabear]

61. What a maroon...

[Javaman]

62. don't do it no matter what. he will want to charge for the use of his name.

there is always a grift.

[Yeehah]

65. Kristi Noem in South Dakota is probably willing to do this

In fact, she would try to rename the state Trumpia if he asked.

[Zorro]

68. I'd support naming a Supermax prison after him

[MurrayDelph]

69. How about in Miami?

The first and only time I flew thorough Miami, it was the worst dump I'd ever flown into. I'd truly expected them to ask whether I wanted the live-chicken section.

Besides, when Covid hit, where was Trump? MIA

When Russia attacked, where was Trump? MIA.

Donald Trump has always been the MIA president.


Personally, I like my wife's idea. I'd like to see him on a postage stamp.

[Blue_true]

70. Honestly, a sewage treatment plant is too good of a public service to be named

after that loser.

[Cha]

72. trump needs a bat shit crazy outhouse

named after him.
