The airport would be renamed the 'Donald J. Trump International Airport.'
House Republicans are pushing to rename the Washington Dulles International Airport in northern Virginia after former President Donald Trump.
The airport is currently named for former Secretary of State John Foster Dulles, who served under former President Dwight Eisenhower's administration.“Any reference in any law, regulation, map, document, paper or other record of the United States to the airport shall be considered to be a reference to the Donald J. Trump International Airport,” the legislation reads.
Co-sponsoring the measure are Reps. Michael Waltz, R-Fla., Andy Ogles, R-Tenn., Chuck Fleischmann, R-Tenn., Paul Gosar, R-Ariz., Barry Moore, R-Ala., and Troy Nehls, R-Texas. “In my lifetime, our nation has never been greater than under the leadership of President Donald J. Trump,” Rep. Reschenthalerin a statement. “As millions of domestic and international travelers fly through the airport, there is no better symbol of freedom, prosperity, and strength than hearing ‘Welcome to Trump International Airport’ as they land on American soil.”
Ridiculing the suggestion via social media was Rep. Don Beyer, D-Va., who represents a portion of Virginia near the airport.“I remember Republicans like those who wrote this bill hiding and giving mealy mouthed responses when asked about the suffering Trump’s Muslim ban caused,” he. “They know Dulles will never be renamed after Trump. Again, that’s not the point, the point is to suck up to their Dear Leader.”Jackson Walker on X at @_jlwalker_ for the latest trending national news.
