Rep. Greg Steube (R-Fla.) introduced a bill Thursday to rename the Washington, D.C., subway system after President Trump and his MAGA slogan.
The Make Autorail Great Again Act would withhold federal funding to the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority, known as WMATA, until it rebrands as the Washington Metropolitan Authority for Greater Access, or WMAGA — a similar acronym to the Make America Great Again slogan — and renames the Metrorail the Trump Train.
“WMATA has received billions in federal assistance over the years and continues to face operational, safety, and fiscal challenges,” Steube said in a statement. “In the spirit of DOGE, this bill demands accountability by conditioning federal funding on reforms that signal a cultural shift away from bureaucratic stagnation toward public-facing excellence and patriotism.”
Steube’s bill is just one of many that Republicans have introduced making a direct appeal to Trump’s name or brand. Rep. Addison McDowell (R-N.C.) has introduced a bill to rename Washington Dulles International Airport after Trump, and Rep. Joe Wilson (R-S.C.) introduced a bill to print $250 bills featuring a portrait of Trump.
