Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy listed renaming New York’s Penn Station as an administration priority on Wednesday, leading to speculation the nation’s busiest transit hub could be rechristened in honor of President Trump as part of an $8 billion makeover.
Duffy penned a letter, sent to leaders of several Senate committees, urging Congress to “direct Amtrak to rename New York Penn Station” when it reauthorizes funding for surface transportation initiatives that expire on Sept. 30.
“We have a unique opportunity through reauthorization efforts to address key initiatives – particularly those related to transforming New York Penn Station,” he wrote.
Duffy did not include a suggestion for what Manhattan train hub should be called, but vowed it would be “re-built into a brand-new, world-class station.”
A spokesperson for the Department of Transportation declined to comment on whether the administration is seeking to rename Penn Station after Trump.
Retiring Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY), whose district includes Penn Station, called the proposal “ridiculous.”
“[A]fter months of hiding from the public, Sean Duffy has confirmed that the Trump administration is waging a hostile takeover of Penn Station, including delivering Trump his dream of renaming Penn Station after himself,” Nadler wrote on X. “I strongly oppose this ridiculous proposal and am once again demanding answers on the funding.
“This will be one of the most expensive projects in the country, yet the administration still has not disclosed how it will be funded or who will pay the bill.”
Nadler further described the Penn Station rebuild as a “Trump vanity project.”

I see no reason to change the name.
Leave things alone. Things do not have to be renamed.
Trump Station
A humble honor for a humble man.
Yeah. No.
Penn Station is Penn Station.
It might need refurbishing, though.
Trump Station sounds PERFECT.
🎶 Oh Lord, it's hard to be humble
When you're perfect in every way
I can't wait to look in the mirror
'Cause I get better lookin' each day
To know me is to love me
I must be a hell of a man
Oh Lord, it's hard to be humble
But I'm doin' the best that I can!
“$8 billion”
Jerome Powell, the miser
Well, bye.
“According to retiring Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY)”

I would rather we hold off on naming things after people until they pass away.
I wrote things do not have to be renamed.
Obiviously you didn’t read my comment.

On second thought, No!
