Rep. Addison McDowell, R-N.C., introduced legislation to rename Washington Dulles International Airport as Donald J. Trump International Airport.
“We have entered the golden age of America, largely thanks to President Trump’s leadership,” McDowell said in a press release Thursday. “It is only right that the two airports servicing our nation’s capital are duly honored and respected by two of the best presidents to have the honor of serving our great nation.”
McDowell was joined by Reps. Guy Reschenthaler, R-Pa., Brandon Gill, R-Texas, Riley Moore, R-W.V., and Brian Jack, R-Ga., in introducing the legislation.
Reschanthaler said the bill “will cement [Trump’s] status in our nation’s capital as our fearless commander in chief, extraordinary leader, and relentless champion for the American people.”
Gill added, “I’m excited to cosponsor Rep. McDowell’s effort to rename Dulles International Airport to Donald J. Trump International Airport. President Trump is the greatest president of my lifetime, so it’s only fitting that we honor him and the incredible leadership he has brought and will continue to bring to save our great nation.”
Dulles Airport was named after former Secretary of State John Foster Dulles, who served under President Dwight Eisenhower in the 1950s. Dulles is the second busiest airport in the nation’s capital, following Reagan National Airport. Former President Bill Clinton signed the bill to rename the airport after former President Ronald Reagan in 1998.
