Trump administration considers naming historic sites after president
Top administration officials are reportedly discussing the possibility of attaching Donald Trump’s name to various government sites. This comes amid ongoing litigation regarding his efforts to rename the Kennedy Center.
One location under consideration is Ford’s Theatre, the historic site where President Abraham Lincoln was assassinated in 1865. While reporters have been informed by an administration official that the idea has been discussed, the official could not confirm the current status of these conversations. The White House has denied reports regarding the discussions.
The reported search for new sites for the president’s name follows Trump’s long-standing habit of drawing historical parallels between himself and Abraham Lincoln.
