Three sources familiar with the tour told the publication that Trump seemed incredulous that Washington was not interested in naming the property after himself.
If he was smart, he wouldve put his name on it, Trump reportedly said. Youve got to put your name on stuff or no one remembers you.
At this point, the VIPs tour guide for the evening, Mount Vernon president and CEO Doug Bradburn, reminded the president that the capital city was named after Washington.
Good point, Trump reportedly said with a laugh.

Uh... Washington had more class and dignity than you do, jackass.

Trump will never be considered so great as a father of the country. Barack Obama will have more things named for him than Trump could ever imagine.

Not to mention, that the way the Trump name is being removed from buildings everywhere, it's probably not a smart idea in the long run.
