Cuz plastering his name on everything he owns isn’t good enough

It’s time to climb into our time machine and travel back in time to that awful era when Trump was befouling the White House. Specifically, when he had a bug up his diapered ass about naming an airport after himself.

Turns out that signing an executive order with his presidential Sharpie wasn’t enough. Congress had to pass a bill to do the renaming. So no airport ever had to suffer the indignity of being named after the owner of an aging 757 with a garish paint job.

Turns out that Trump wasn’t thinking big enough, though. What’s the saying? Go big or go home? Trump went home, in disgrace. But he staged a comeback and his cult is now flourishing again.

One of the members of that cult, Rep. Greg Steube (R-Fla.) introduced a bill in the House to rename our coastal waters known as the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) to the “Donald John Trump Exclusive Economic Zone of the United States.”

In honor of his 78th birthday, of course. You can stop wondering what to get the man who has everything, for his birthday. Just rename the entire US coastline after him.
