There is no end to his narcissism:
President Trump last month offered to drop his hold on billions of dollars for a major infrastructure project in New York, but only if Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer agreed to rename New York’s Penn Station and Washington’s Dulles International Airport after Trump.
- Schumer (D-N.Y.) rejected the offer, a source familiar with the talks told Axios, prolonging the standoff over funding for the Gateway Tunnel Project connecting New York to New Jersey.
Trump, whose allies renamed the Kennedy Center and the U.S. Institute of Peace after him, is continuing his efforts to reshape American institutions in his image.
- The offer did not come up in an Oval Office meeting between Trump and Schumer last month, the source said. Instead, the offer was made to Schumer in subsequent conversations with the administration about the Gateway project.
- The $16 billion project is set to shut down indefinitely on Friday, without the funding from the federal government.
- The offer from Trump was first reported by Punchbowl News.
Republicans introduced a bill all the way back in April of 24 to name Dulles after Trump so he has support for that.
No biggie I guess… just one more example of his deep and debilitating psychological damage.
