Trump SCREWS Himself as DEMANDS His Name on EVERYTHING - Legal AF
Attorneys Brian Kabateck and Shant Karnikian catalog the ever-growing list of things Donald Trump has slapped his name on — from the Kennedy Center and the U.S. Institute of Peace to Trump-class battleships, Trump accounts, TrumpRx, the Trump National Park Pass featuring his face alongside George Washington, and a Trump Gold Card immigrant visa program.
The hosts reveal how Trump told Chuck Schumer he'd unfreeze $16 billion in Gateway Tunnel funding if Schumer agreed to rename Penn Station and Dulles Airport after him — a demand Schumer rejected and Democrats called extortion. They run through the international branding too: Trump Heights in the Golan Heights, a Trump boulevard in Albania, and the "Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity" between Armenia and Azerbaijan.
Karnikian offers three theories for the obsession: pure narcissism and a constant need for validation, the grift of monetizing the presidency for his family's wealth, and a revenge hypothesis — rubbing his name next to JFK's and other icons to spite the establishment that once mocked him. Kabateck compares it to an eight-year-old putting a sticker on his bedroom door, arguing that the only way to stop it is at the ballot box. - 02/15/2026.
