If there's one thing former Republican President Donald Trump wants as a lasting tribute to his presidency, it's an airport bearing his name. Trump grew up where airports were named or renamed after former New York City mayor Fiorello La Guardia and Democratic President John F. Kennedy.
With neither airport likely to be renamed in his honor, where should a Trump Airport go?
George Takei took to Twitter to ask just that question.
\u201cSo, where do you think they should build the airport Donald so desperately wants? \ud83d\ude44\u201d— George Takei (@George Takei) 1665596393
Here are just a few of the responses, with one area on foreign soil proving particularly popular.

Although Russia wasn't the only option outside the United States.
North Korea—they love him there.

While some went with ideas a little more difficult to achieve.
Can we just rename one of those historical airports from the Revolutionary War?

Although, is an airport really necessary when you have the best bigly brain?

Firstly, I don't think there will ever be a Trump airport. Secondly, if one does happen it will most certainly be a money loser.

Like all modern former Presidents—even Richard Nixon—Trump should eventually get a library.
An airport though?
That might be a long shot.
