U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy asked members of Congress in a letter on Wednesday to give Amtrak the green light to rename Penn Station, setting up the possibility the nation’s busiest train hub could be rechristened after President Donald Trump.
The federal government has led the effort to rebuild the dilapidated station since last year, when Trump stripped control of the project from the MTA and turned it over to Amtrak. White House officials have since floated the idea of renaming Penn Station, which is owned by federally run Amtrak, after Trump.
Duffy’s request came in a letter to Senate committee chairs as Congress negotiates new spending bills.
While Duffy didn’t explicitly ask lawmakers to put Trump’s name on Penn Station in his letter, he asked them to “direct Amtrak to rename New York Penn Station.”
As a real estate developer, Trump earned a reputation for renaming buildings his company purchased after himself. Since returning to the White House last year, he tried to add his name to the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., though a federal judge earlier this year ruled that he lacked the authority to do so.

This is Trump’s ego destroying his legacy, again. Anything named after him should have its name changed again as soon as he is out the door.
Then they could name it after Mitch McConnell
We usually aren’t ruled by a cult of personality.
I think it is a great idea for one reason. It causes liberal heads to explode.
He’s trolling the left. Still a lot of Byrd highways around, named during his lifetime. As far as I’m concerned, name the whole country Trump if it inspires the libs to leave.
That’s not a good enough reason. Trump is doing a lot of good things. Trying to slap his name on everything like the pharaohs of old is not one of them.
I agree…. Bad idea. It’s like renaming the Washington Monument.
Now the new tunnel under the Hudson…by all means name it Trump Tunnel.
