It seems like a few Republican lawmakers want gold slab-serif lettering to welcome Americans flying into the nation’s capital. A bill introduced in the House of Representatives aims to rename Washington Dulles International Airport after former President Donald Trump. The change isn’t likely to become a reality as the Democrats control the Senate and the White House. Still, it shows where legislators’ priorities lie as commercial aviation is in a tailspin with shoddily-built airliners and overstretched air traffic controllers.

Representative Guy Reschenthaler, the Republicans’ chief deputy whip in the House, introduced the bill to rename Dulles. He told Fox News Digital:

“In my lifetime, our nation has never been greater than under the leadership of President Donald J. Trump. 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.”
