Donald Trump has told the Senate’s top Democrat, Chuck Schumer, that he will unfreeze funds for major infrastructure projects in New York and New Jersey if he supports renaming Dulles international airport in Virginia and Penn Station in New York City after him, according to media reports.
The demand, which was first reported on Thursday by Punchbowl News, comes after the president in October halted $18bn in funding for a major subway line expansion in New York City as well as a new rail tunnel connecting the city to New Jersey. The funding freeze was announced on the first day of a 43-day government shutdown in which Schumer, who represents New York, played a major role.

Lol
LOL! So this won’t happen.
Good gambit, President Trump.
Punchbowl news has a high accuracy rating.
I suspect President Trump was making a joke.
He does so often.
Oh my I hear heads exploding again ,LOL
Sounds like BS to me.
That's why his dad sent him to New York Military Academy in the 8th grade. His father thought the discipline would rid him of his playful impishness.
It didn't.
“His father thought the discipline would rid him of his playful impishness.”
You can’t discipline the Scottish blood out of a man.
Why not rename the whole place? New Trump City has a ring to it.
He is so full of himself. Just knock it off already.
“ I suspect President Trump was making a joke.”
****************************************
He was most definitely trolling them. The left have no sense of humor.
Yes, but discipline can harden the hard headedness of German blood.
He is so full of himself. Just knock it off already.
************************************************
LOL — it went right over your head, didn’t it. Just sayin’.
Trollin’, Trollin’, Trollin’
Keep lefty panties soilin’
All their plans keep foilin’
OrangeMan...
Another embarrassment, if true.
TRUMP knows how to trigger them. LOL
I wouldn’t bet against a few things in America being named after Trump.
Consequences for spying on him, hoax impeaching him, stealing an election from him, lawfarimg him.
All of that was fun and games to Trump’s enemies.
Doubt he laughed at any of it.
Trump said this to Schumer because he has too much class to ask Schumer to kiss his own arse in exchange for restoring the funds.
“ He is so full of himself. Just knock it off already.”
Why should he do Schumer and NYC a favor for nothing?
“…Chuck Schumer, that he will unfreeze funds for major infrastructure projects in New York and New Jersey if he supports renaming Dulles international airport in Virginia and Penn Station in New York City after him, according to media reports.”
Heck, why not Trump New York City? It has a ring to it.
