H.R.7845, a House bill whose sponsor, Rep. Guy Reschenthaler (R-PA), is today’s nominee, has the title:
To designate the Washington Dulles International Airport in Virginia as the “Donald J. Trump International Airport”.
Rep. Reschenthaler is either, or even both:
- A truly devoted fan of Mr Trump, beyond all bounds of reason or taste;
- An aesthete of enormous talent and sensibility. As his colleague, Rep Brandon Boyle (D-PA), noted, Dulles is an old, ugly airport that no one wants to see. So I think this is a fitting tribute to 45. But Rep Boyle failed to note how this fits into the panoply of Mr. Trump’s associations, as “old airports” are, unless properly updated, fourth class. Mr Trump never finds the first class associate, does he? It’s not in his personality, narcissistic and desiring adoration, for first rate people expend adoration upon their pets, who generally cannot abuse it, and not on people. Those they treat as appropriate: dignity, caution, loathing are some of the applicable adjectives. Their association with adoring people is uneasy, suspicious, and withdrawn.
My congratulations to Rep. Reschenthaler on his achievement.
