Trump Demands He Gets His Name on Two National Transportation Hubs

Donald Trump is leveraging $16 billion in withheld infrastructure funding to try to rename Washington-Dulles International Airport and Penn Station after himself.

The 79-year-old president’s latest move to affix his name on buildings of note, which PunchBowl News reported Thursday, relates to his withholding of funds for the Gateway Program, which will expand and renovate the Northeast Corridor rail line in New York City and New Jersey. Trump froze those funds last October during the government shutdown. New York and New Jersey have since sued.
