Inside the GOP Effort to Venerate Trump March 22, 2025 at 11:30 am EDT By Taegan Goddard 60 Comments Politico: “The multi-front effort to memorialize a president who is still alive, let alone still living in the White House, has no precedent in congressional history. While none of the bills are expected to become law, it underscores the lengths that some House Republicans are willing to go to curry favor with Trump.” Playbook: A look at the bills: In total, there are five such bills introduced in the House over the past two months, which would: *put Trump’s face on the $100 bill *create a new $250 bill with Trump’s face adorning it *make Trump’s birthday (June 14) a federal holiday *rename Dulles Airport in Trump’s honor and *carve Trump’s face on Mount Rushmore. |
Hit Post by mistake but you get the idea. We're well into dictator territory on many fronts, but the sycophantic obsession with honoring (aka currying favor with) Trump while he is still alive is breathtaking to observe.
