Creative Ways to Honor Der Furor

Back in 2010 I wrote a blog post about the frantic rush by Republicans to name everything they could think of after Ronald Reagan, the man who was the same sort of GOP demigod for his time that Der Furor is today. Within a few miles of my home in Northern Virginia alone, we have the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center in downtown DC, Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA), and the Ronald Wilson Reagan Memorial Highway (a portion of State Route 234 near Manassas). The Reagan Presidential Library has a convenient list (by state and overseas location) of all the things named after Mr Reagan, if you want to see a more-or-less full list.  

Of course, a man like Ronald Reagan would be primaried into electoral insignificance by today's MAGA Republicans who worship at the festooned altar of Der Furor. Indeed, by MAGA standards, Der Furor is the greatest president of all time, far outshining any past or potential future incumbent, and so there's been an unseemly rush of honors proposed by Republican members of Congress and other officeholders eager to osculate the ample posterior of their Fearless Leader. These include:

Texas Representative Brendan Gill’s Golden Age Act of 2025 recommends replacing Benjamin Franklin on the $100 with Der Furor;

New York Representative Claudia Tenney introduced legislation to make Der Furor's birthday a federal holiday;

North Carolina Representative Addison McDowell introduced legislation to rename Washington Dulles International Airport for Der Furor;

Florida Representative Anna Paulina Luna submitted a bill to add Der Furor’s likeness to Mount Rushmore, placing him alongside Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, and Theodore Roosevelt (unlikely ever to happen, for practical geological reasons);

South Carolina Representative Joe Williams has introduced legislation to create a new $250 bill with Der Furor's likeness to commemorate his idol and recognize the 250th anniversary of the United States in 2026; and,

Tennessee Representative Andy Ogles has introduced legislation proposing a Constitutional amendment that would allow selected presidents to serve a third (or more) term, which is now forbidden by the 22nd Amendment. Mr Ogles carefully worded his proposed amendment so that it would not apply to other former two-term presidents, such as (naturally) Barack Obama.

Of course, a man as brazenly self-absorbed and self-congratulatory as Der Furor would consider all of this as no more than his due. After all, he's been whining long enough about being under-appreciated and not being awarded a Nobel Peace Prize. Plus he's already famous for putting his name not just on all his properties, but on everything from sneakers to cybercurrencies to trading cards and NFTs to fragrences.

So, Dear Readers, it's clear that Der Furor considers himself sadly under-honored, and his sycophants agree. What are some other places or things that we ought to apply his name to ... assuming that any remain? I think we could start with renaming the "detention center" for arrested migrants in the middle of the Florida Everglades from "The Dade-Collier Training and Transition Airport" or "Alligator Alcatraz" to the "The [DJT] Immigrant Pre-Deportation Misery Enhancement Center."

Any other ideas? Leave a comment.

Have a good day. More thoughts coming.
