Full List of GOP Bills to Put Trump's Name or Face on Things
The proposals range from renaming Washington Dulles International Airport to creating a $250 bill bearing Trump's portrait. Others seek to make Trump's birthday a national holiday, rebrand the Washington Metro system as the "Trump Train," and even carve his likeness into Mount Rushmore.
Federal honors of this magnitude are usually given long after a president leaves office, often posthumously, once history provides perspective.
The most recent effort came on Tuesday, when Representative Mike Simpson, a Republican of Idaho, tucked an amendment into a spending bill to rename the Kennedy Center's Opera House in Washington, D.C., the "First Lady Melania Trump Opera House."
Two months earlier, Representative Greg Steube of Florida rolled out the Make Autorail Great Again Act. His bill would rename the Washington, D.C., Metro the "Washington Metropolitan Authority for Greater Access" and rebrand its trains as the "Trump Train."
The measure even threatened to cut federal transit funding unless the changes were made, turning Trump's "Make America Great Again" slogan into a transit acronym.
The spring of 2025 brought a rush of Trump-themed currency bills. Representative Joe Wilson, a Republican of South Carolina, proposed creating a new $250 bill bearing Trump's portrait, calling it a tribute to his "transformational leadership."
Going a step further, Representative Brandon Gill of Texas introduced the "Golden Age Act of 2025," which would replace Benjamin Franklin on the $100 bill with Trump's image. Gill argued Trump had ushered in "a golden age for America," deserving of commemoration on the most widely used U.S. banknote.
"Featuring him on the $100 bill is a small way to honor all he will accomplish these next four years," Gill said. If the bill passes, all $100 bills printed after December 31, 2028, would feature Donald J. Trump's picture.
That same month, Representative Claudia Tenney of New York put forward the Trump's Birthday and Flag Day Holiday Establishment Act to make June 14—a date that is both Trump's birthday and Flag Day—a combined national holiday.
In one of the boldest moves, Representative Anna Paulina Luna of Florida introduced a bill directing the Interior Department to add Trump's face to Mount Rushmore.
Months before Trump's second inauguration, Representative Guy Reschenthaler of Pennsylvania proposed renaming Washington Dulles International Airport as Donald J. Trump International Airport.
Representative Greg Steube of Florida arguably started the trend with a proposal to rename all U.S. coastal waters the "Donald John Trump Exclusive Economic Zone of the United States."

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
