Mary Trump cheered the House Democrats as they introduced legislation to rename a federal prison in Miami after her uncle and former President Donald Trump. After Republicans proposed to rename Washington Dulles Airport in Virginia after Donald Trump, three House Democrats introduced legislation to rename a federal prison in Miami after the 45th US president. The bill, which was introduced by Representatives Gerry Connolly of Virginia, John Garamendi of California and Jared Moskowitz of Florida on Friday, seeks to change Miami Federal Correctional Institution’s name to the “Donald J. Trump Federal Correctional Institution”. Taking a dig at Trump, Connolly in a statement on Friday stated that while the GOP leaders want to rename Dulles after Trump, the most suitable option would be to rename a federal prison. Meanwhile, Garamendi quipped, “I hope our Republican friends will join us in bestowing upon Donald J. Trump the only honor he truly deserves.” He went on to day that renaming the federal prison nearest Mar-a-Lago in Trump’s honor would be a “more fitting tribute” given that he is the only former president in American history to face criminal charges. Moskowitz ridiculed the Republican leader, emphasising that Trump enjoys having his name written in gold letters on all of his buildings. He said, “But he’s never had his name on a federal building before, and as a public servant, I just want to help the former president. Help us make that dream a reality.”
