Nope. I don't approve of anything being named after a living person. Is this a principle or a superstition?

Adding him to Rushmore, yes?... but changing the name of the oceans?... perish the thought. Then again, some renamed Mt McKinley. The mountain was "Denali" to the vast majority of Alaska's population, and to mountain climbers. Even the NPS orientation required for climbers was always "climbing Denali," and not "climbing McKinley." If they named a whitewater river after him, would rafters say I’m shooting McKinley tomorrow?

LOL! Trump, the "great president". Please tell me you're still speaking in jest. Nope. Of course, I'm speaking about policy successes as opposed to popularity so there's that. Let’s limit the discussion to non-fiction.

We should see the entirety of someone's life before naming anything (if we do at all). I remember a situation in a nearby state a while back where a senator or something was also a contractor. He got a big new fancy state building built. They named it after him. Then it turned out there were all kinds of kickbacks etc. He went to prison. They had to unname the building... Just wait.

There is no guarantee said honoree won’t be found out a scoundrel long after he’s dead. I believe in giving flowers to people before they die.

Oh, yeah a welcome center off the Interstate is just like renaming the Atlantic and/or Pacific Ocean. Take your teeth out and can you suck on your sour grapes better. No one is suggesting that.

They may as well. A proposed bill from a House Republican would rename coastal waters around the US after former president Donald Trump, whose administration rolled back dozens of environmental rules while he was in office.
Legislation from Florida Representative Greg Steube would rename the US Exclusive Economic Zone to the “Donald John Trump Exclusive Economic Zone of the United States.”
That area spans roughly 4.3 million nautical miles and “extends no more than 200 nautical miles from the territorial sea baseline and is adjacent to the 12 nautical mile territorial sea of the US” and its territories, according to the National Ocean Service.Those 4.3 million nautical miles flow into the same oceans. Naming coastal waters after Trump is like shitting in the water well.

The Arctic is the smallest and the shallowest ocean, so that’s the best choice. Maybe we can send Trump to the Arctic. Go build a hotel there, Donald.
