Democrats Pushback Against Trump’s Reported Bid To Rename Penn Station And Dulles Airport After Himself

Democratic lawmakers responded with anger and mockery over reports that President Donald Trump told Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., that he is ready to unfreeze billions in funding for a key infrastructure project in New York in exchange for Schumer's support in renaming New York’s Penn Station and Washington's Dulles International Airport after Trump.

The purported offer, first reported by Punchbowl News and later corroborated by CNN and Axios, was made when Schumer held conversations with the White House over New York’s Gateway project.

The White House has put a hold on federal funding for the $16 billion project to connect New York and New Jersey through a new rail tunnel under the Hudson River.

The reports said Schumer quickly rejected the offer and told the president he lacked the authority to make such a change.

The hold on federal funding for the Gateway project remains in effect and officials from New York and New Jersey sued the Trump administration over it earlier this week.

The lawsuit comes as construction work for the tunnel faces an impending shutdown this Saturday, which could result in the loss of over 1,000 jobs...

I thought this was dead. Apparently not.

3. MaddowBlog-Trump tries to blame Schumer for the president's own Gateway tunnel project debacle

The president didn’t deny the absurd proposal, but he did try to blame the Senate Democratic leader for the idea. Schumer called it an “absolute lie.”

As Trump asks us to believe Schumer wanted to rename Penn Station and Dulles Airport after Trump, there are fresh reasons this should be more than a one-day story. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

The president’s pitch was, for all intents and purposes, an attempt at extortion: If Democrats wanted to save a critical infrastructure project and prevent the job losses, they had to indulge Trump’s obsession with self-glorification.

The White House made little effort to deny the accuracy of the reporting, and on Friday night, during a brief Q&A on Air Force One, a reporter asked the Republican, “Can you set the record straight? There were reports circulating that you told Chuck Schumer that in order to restore funding for the Gateway train tunnel in New York, New Jersey, you would want Penn Station and Dulles Airport to be named after you. Is that true?”

The ideal answer would have been, “No, of course not, that would be insane.” Alas, that’s not what Trump said.

....In other words, we’re supposed to believe that the Democratic Senate leader, among others, approached Trump with the idea of renaming an airport and one of the nation’s most storied train stations after the president they vehemently oppose.

Schumer wasted little time in responding to this absurdity, calling the claim an “absolute lie.”

.....And yet, here we are, watching this same scenario unfold.

As for the underlying legal fight over the White House’s tactics, U.S. District Court Judge Jeannette Vargas on Friday blocked the administration from suspending funds for the Gateway project. It was a preliminary ruling that allowed the investments to continue while broader legal issues continue to be adjudicated. Watch this space.
