Today the White House announced the renaming of the capital, which will now be referred to as Trump-Washington DC. Apparently a random group of people wearing red Make America Go Away hats were asked if they liked the idea and approved, so with a bunch of up and down strokes of a pen, the new name is now being forced on maps everywhere.

In the press release from Press Secretary Leave-it's office, it was claimed that "a lot of buildings in town have Trump's name on them, or have had Trump's name on them, or will have Trump's name on them, so it felt correct to reflect that in the city's name." When asked for specifics, Leave-it, as usual, had none. At least none that conformed with fact and logic. For example, apparently the tear down of the East Wing is now referred to as Trump Rubble, though she wouldn't confirm that. Pushed further, Leave-it said "there's been a delay in putting up the official gold lettering on many buildings, which may be why some people are confused."

The Floppy Fact Team (FFT) ascertained that some of that last statement is actually true. While most of the Trump branding on New York City buildings has been taken down after he became persona non grata there, it was put into facilities where unpaid storage bills have made it difficult to get out, cleaned up, and put onto DC buildings.

When asked if this renaming was legal, Leave-it replied "the President is god," both mispronouncing and conspicuously leaving out an "o" in the last word.

We asked multiple Republican representatives and senators for comment, but none were willing to go on the record, though one replied on stationary that now lists their address as Trump-Hart Senate Office Building. The comments from Democratic elected officials we received were mostly "he did what?"

Meanwhile, Gaggle has already changed their maps. So if you ask for directions to the "Trump building," be careful, it might just take you to the nearest pile of rubble.
