Welcome to…the Donald J. Trump federal prison?

House Democrats propose to satirically rename a Miami federal prison in honor of former President Donald Trump, in response to a Republican proposal to rename Washington-Dulles International Airport in his name.

Three Democrats, Gerry Connolly of Virginia, Jared Moskowitz of Florida and John Garamendi of California, proposed sarcastically renaming the Miami Federal Correctional Institution the Donald J. Trump Federal Correctional Institution.

This idea, which seems almost comical, is a response that has generated quite a few reactions…

Gerry Connolly, representing the Dulles Airport District, proposed renaming the prison in response to the Republican initiative. He insisted, on behalf of the Democratic Party, that renaming the prison in Trump’s honor would be the only tribute he truly deserved.

For his part, Florida Democratic Representative Jared Moskowitz joked about Donald Trump’s tendency to affix his name to his properties.

He suggested that if Trump’s name was going to be associated with a federal structure, it might as well be in an appropriate manner. Ouch!

In his opinion, renaming the prison near Mar-a-Lago after the former president would be a perfect tribute given these circumstances.

Both bills are likely to be blocked due to the divided legislative chambers, of course. Democrats control the Senate, where the GOP couldn’t renominate Dulles. The Republican-led House of Representatives doesn’t approve of the Democrats’ proposal to rename the prisons. In short, we understand that this is just humor (probably misplaced) on both sides.

However, it does show that the controversy surrounding the former U.S. president is still very much alive… and that U.S. officials still have some time for humor.
