13. It's even worse than when they went crazy naming everything after Reagan.

But those renamings weren't intended to flatter Reagan personally so he wouldn't punish them on social media, since by that time he was dead or at least in the final throes of dementia; they were more to glorify their concept of Reagan (which was fucked up, but that's another story). These Trump naming bills are intended as the most blatant sort of flattery and favor-currying, with these sorry poltroons falling over themselves to come up with more and more totally cool things to name after Dear Leader. The Reagan renamings were infuriating and undeserved (DCA will always be National Airport, AFAIC), but this is just embarrassing and stupid.
