Orgo-Life the new way to the future Advertising by AdpathwayPresident Donald Trump reportedly wants his name on New York’s Penn Station and Dulles International Airport in Washington, D.C.
Trump told Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) that he would be willing to release federal funding for the Gateway tunnel project ― which the president froze last year ― in return for renaming the two transit hubs after him, according to a story first reported by Punchbowl News and later confirmed by CNN and NBC, among others.
Trump has used his name as a brand for decades, especially on his real estate projects and golf clubs. But since returning to the White House, he’s been trying to force his name onto a much broader range of interests. He’s announced a new “Trump class” of U.S. battleships, a TrumpRx prescription drug portal, and even investment accounts for children called Trump Accounts.
Trump even added his name to the U.S. Institute of Peace building and the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. After artists objected to the latter and canceled their performances at the venue, the president announced a two-year shutdown for renovations.
Now, Trump is reportedly trying to make previously approved funds for the Gateway project contingent on adding his name to more places.
Schumer has reportedly rejected the offer.
“The president stopped the funding, and he can restart the funding with a snap of his fingers,” an unnamed source close to Schumer told NBC.
Several other lawmakers also fired back:
No. This is ridiculous. These naming rights aren’t tradable as part of any negotiations, and neither is the dignity of New Yorkers. At a time when New Yorkers are already being crushed by high costs under the Trump tariffs, the president continues to put his own narcissism over… https://t.co/eavU6jy62f

Trump’s ego branding is insane and selfish, and demonstrates his utter lack of leadership on issues of affordability, U.S.… https://t.co/hFL0wbEjoa
Other critics mocked Trump for even wanting his name on a pair of not-exactly-beloved transit hubs:
wanting his name on penn station is arguably the reddest flag of psychopathy yet.
— Tommy (@tomsegal) February 6, 2026Schumer should make him take the port authority bus terminal too

Every dem candidate needs to commit to reversing all these BS hostage negotiation renamings.
This is not normal for someone to want to rename every building and transport hub after themselves like a low rent dictator. https://t.co/oVMimYZb7Y
Trump is who he is, but it’s fascinating that the entire conservative movement has decided to subordinate itself to these antics. https://t.co/AwuVL4j7d7
