Then, before making any, discontinue the penny.

I think this might actually happen. Some republicans in a deep red state may want to polish some turds for Trump so he'll speak highly of them once he leaves office. Is there a Robert E Lee International? David Duke Regional?

All airports I know of have been named after folks who have already died.
I think we should tell Trumpy that. Perhaps he'll oblige.

...the Captain John McCain (International) Airport.

Then they should name the nearby sanitary sewage lift-station after Cadet Bone Spurs.

to throw themselves on his grave. Come to think of it, there would also be a line waiting to piss on the runway.

1998. Ronald didn't die until 2004. But then again, I'm pretty sure Ronald was a drooling idiot by 1998, if not before.

The Trump Wing at Leavenworth!

I was thinking maybe Putin was getting tired of the name "Domodedovo," and since Moscow already has two other airports, he could probably rename Domodedovo to "Trumpskovo," and it would be fifteen years before anyone noticed anyway.

Propose to rename Reagan International for Trump. Then sit back and watch the fight and heads explode. Reagan zealots vs Trump zealots and each side calling the other Traitors. Really this should be made to happen - it could be the final nail in the GOP coffin

I am sure there are a couple small-town General Aviation airfields in deep red areas...you know, the kind of place that has 4500 feet of runway, three hangars and a gas pump you turn on with your credit card...that the local authorities would be happy to put his name on.

Or rename the Pentagon the "Trump Pentagon."

The OP image reminds me of Stephen Colbert's speech at the White House Correspondents' Dinner. With President Dubya sitting right next to him, Colbert (in the persona of his self-named alter-ego), said, "Sir, there are those who say you are rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. I tell them that you are a man who aims high -- you're rearranging the deck chairs on the Hindenburg".

Which is probably $9.99. Then garnish the proceeds towards his tax bill, and sell of the naming rights a few days later.
