House Republicans say they're honoring the sitting president with their unprecedented bills. Historians see something darker.
The article from MSN discusses the efforts by Republican supporters to honor former President Donald Trump while he is still alive, a practice that traditionally occurs posthumously for American presidents. Key points include the renaming of an airport in Florida to "Donald J. Trump International Airport," the addition of Trump's likeness to Mount Rushmore, and the proposal to feature him on the $100 bill. These initiatives are part of a broader movement to venerate Trump, reflecting his significant influence within the GOP and among his base. Critics argue that these actions are premature and overly partisan, potentially setting a precedent for how political figures are commemorated in the future. The article also touches on the political implications and the debate over the appropriateness of such honors for a living, controversial figure.
