Rep. Greg Steube (R-Fla.) introduced a bill Thursday to rename the Washington, D.C., subway system after President Trump and his MAGA slogan.

The Make Autorail Great Again Act would withhold federal funding to the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority, known as WMATA, until it rebrands as the Washington Metropolitan Authority for Greater Access, or WMAGA — a similar acronym to the Make America Great Again slogan — and renames the Metrorail the Trump Train.

“WMATA has received billions in federal assistance over the years and continues to face operational, safety, and fiscal challenges,” Steube said in a statement. “In the spirit of DOGE, this bill demands accountability by conditioning federal funding on reforms that signal a cultural shift away from bureaucratic stagnation toward public-facing excellence and patriotism.”

Steube’s bill is just one of many that Republicans have introduced making a direct appeal to Trump’s name or brand. Rep. Addison McDowell (R-N.C.) has introduced a bill to rename Washington Dulles International Airport after Trump, and Rep. Joe Wilson (R-S.C.) introduced a bill to print $250 bills featuring a portrait of Trump.

No words.

1. We're in fucking North Korea.

At least they waited until Reagan was out of office before they started naming everything after him.

[SunSeeker]

18. When we win in '28, we need to pass the "We Are Not North Korea Act" WANNKA!

It will automatically rename everything Republicans named under the Trump administration back to their original names, from the Gulf of Mexico to the DC Metro.

[Basso8vb]

2. Keep stoking our wrath, MAGA.

May you reap what you sow.

And avoid light poles.

[liberalgunwilltravel]

3. Time has come

No more!

[Zorro]

4. Steube's the MAGAt rep who fell off a ladder onto his head

Obviously didn't do much damage.

[Ilsa]

32. If only he had fallen onto closely-spaced sharpened

rusty rebar. The rust would be an improvement.

[2MuchNoise]

5. Effin' crazy train. This sh*t's off the rails.

[MIButterfly]

6. Oh, for crying out loud!

Why don't they just go ahead and name all the schools; universities; highways; bridges; airports; government buildings; museums: military bases; and hospitals after him and be done with it?

Maybe then they could actually come up with legislation that will help the PEOPLE and not just stroke Trump's massive ego?

There is no end to this stupidity. Every. Single. Day.

[Dave Bowman]

9. Wouldn't be surprised if he wanted to rename the country "Trumpikistan".

[Dave Bowman]

7. "The Trump Train"

[johnnyfins]

8. How about the Jim Jones train?

Same thing

[Dave Bowman]

10. Free Kool-Aid!

[Ocelot II]

11. Oh, we're goin' off the rails on the Trumpy Train...

[usonian]

12. Again?

Found on the internet.
Before AI.

[C Moon]

13. How about the TACO Choo Choo?

[Nimble_Idea]

38. oh snaps.......winner of the interweb #2

[SunSeeker]

14. Go fuck yourselves, MAGAts.

[Figarosmom]

15. Geez

[Rebl2]

16. Call it

for short TACO train

[Martin68]

17. I hate to say it, but if that's what it takes to support mass transportation, go ahead and do it. It'q meaningless

anyway. Fuck us if we can't take a joke.

[CaptainTruth]

19. Do they really want to invite those... reactions?

How could anyone ever feel safe riding a train named after a traitor & enemy of America?

Seems like it would be a target for as long as it wore that name.

[Norrrm]

20. A name change for glory and meaningless platitudes.

Slogans with no guidance.

"demands accountability by conditioning federal funding on reforms that signal a cultural shift away from bureaucratic stagnation toward public-facing excellence and patriotism.”

“Like any struggling institution, WMATA needs a fresh identity that aligns with efficiency, service quality, and renewed public trust. These new names serve as a bold rallying point for much-needed reform,”

Would Dotard really want his name associated with something that probably won't get more efficient and still be a money eater?

[flashman13]

21. Trump's meglomania is growing exponentially. He is a clear and present danger.

[Ilsa]

33. I wonder if they'll set him up like Lenin in a glass

case when he's dead? They'll probably force- march us to pay respects.

[OverBurn]

22. The GOP is really fucking nuts.

[Picaro]

23. I become more homocidal with each passing day

The stupid is burning me alive.

Today after a round of golf one of our better players started talking about a Joe Rogan segment with Mel Gibson where Mel Gibson said he knew 4 people that had had stage 4 cancer of some sort and had been completely cured by ivermectin.

We’d been talking about the horrors of pancreatic and other cancers. His father had died of pancreatic cancer. When he brought this up I just left.

Complete non-sequitur and the segment was literally years ago. I wanted to ask him how wise it would be to take medical advice from a high school graduate with no medical training or from an actor who demolished his career with raging alcoholism and vicious anti-semitism.

This is why we are where we are. Our voters are profoundly ignorant and completely unable to think beyond a toddler level. This is why they relate to Trump and his minions.

Had to do an Irish goodbye at that point.

I’m sure it was noticed. I’m the barely tolerated liberal. Wish I could give the game up.

[BidenRocks]

24. I am buying stock in

Spray Paint Mfrs.
That's just asking for vandalism!

[IronLionZion]

25. TSA Trump States of America

Gulf of Donald or GOD

[generalbetrayus]

26. Who even wants a $250 bill? Put Orange Julius Caesar's face on the 47 dollar bill instead.

[truthisfreedom]

27. "taco twain"

“chicken underground”

[Karasu]

28. ...Why the fuck is this still a valid political party after 1/6?

[Javaman]

29. in an under reported piece of news, Washington, D.C. will be renamed to...

Washington, Donald Country.

[Linda ladeewolf]

30. More bootlicking and ass kissing

Republican style.

[Timeflyer]

31. OMG, that's my repulsive rep! That's how he's serving the people of his district? Call 202-225-5792 to get blown off

by Steube's indoctrinated office staff. Yeah, you go, Florida Man.

[cayugafalls]

34. smh...trolling the American people while dismantling our democracy...f'ck these fascists...

If they print his ugly orange mug on a $250 bill, I will get 4 $250 bills and WIPE MY ASS!

jus sayin

[Prairie Gates]

35. Imagine being a US Congressperson and spending your whole day just trolling

I mean, to be fair, that kinda is why the absolute imbeciles in FL-17 elected this mental defective, but really. Don't they have any dignity?

[Nimble_Idea]

39. no. the answer is no.

[Vinca]

36. Does that mean trains will immediately start going off the rails?

[Nimble_Idea]

37. is an easy fix. put the trains out of commision.

then mandate by law that all cars give way to bicycles, motor-bikes, and walkers in ALL lanes. roads will be packed and those fancy trash who never use the metro will fucking beg and double fund for people to get back to the trains.
