By David Shepardson
WASHINGTON, Feb 5 - U.S. President Donald Trump offered last month to drop his hold on funding for a key $16 billion New York Hudson River tunnel project in exchange for Democratic Senator Chuck Schumer supporting the renaming of Washington Dulles Airport and New York Penn Station after Trump, a source told Reuters Thursday.
Punchbowl News first reported the offer citing four sources that was swiftly rejected by Schumer, who told the White House he did not have the power the rename the landmarks, a source confirmed to Reuters. The White House did not respond to a request for comment and Schumer's office declined to comment.

There will delays and cost overruns as a result, but the names of the transportation hubs won't be changed.

(12,915 posts)He has immunity for anything related to his duties as president. So the only recourse if he fails to do something he "must" do would be impeachment... but this congress won't impeach. And even if the next congress impeaches, they won't get the 2/3 needed to convict. This is why he's free to do anything he wants, and ignore anything he wants to ignore.

Many businesses in NYC depend upon employees showing up for work. Stock prices depend upon it.
Cut the cord of transportation and the whole U.S. economy suffers.
