Democrats erupt in fury over Trump demanding Schumer help rename Dulles, Penn Station
"Trump is pathologically petty and cannot be trusted to keep his word."
"There is no point in yielding to his ever-changing ransom demands,"
"Donald Trump is willing to sabotage the nation's most important infrastructure projects for no reason other than malignant narcissism,"
"Instead of lowering costs, President Trump is holding critical infrastructure funding hostage for more vanity projects."
President Trump pressed to rename Dulles Airport after himself and tied that demand to federal funding for the Gateway infrastructure project. Democratic lawmakers characterized the demand as petty, extortionate, and harmful to major infrastructure efforts. Rep. Ritchie Torres called Trump pathologically petty and accused him of sabotaging key projects out of narcissism. Rep. Suhas Subramanyam said Trump was holding critical infrastructure funding hostage for vanity projects and vowed to fight any renaming effort. Rep. Jerry Nadler labeled the move an extortion racket. Some Republicans, including Rep. Riley Moore, supported placing Trump’s name on the airport.
