Lawmaker pushes bill to rename Nashville International Airport after Donald Trump

19 January 2025 at 20:11

Travelers arriving in Music City may soon be greeted by Trump International Airport.

On Friday, Tennessee Republican State Rep. Todd Warner filed House Bill 217, which would rename Nashville International Airport to honor Trump.

The bill would require the metropolitan airport authority to take actions to execute the name change.

Those actions would include setting up new signage, changing registered trademarks with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), revising all existing contracts and legal documents to reflect the new name, and updating references with local, state and federal agencies.

During the transition period, the bill states that the airport may operate business using its current name with the designation of "doing business as Trump International Airport" or "d/b/a Trump International Airport."

If passed, the bill would take effect on Jan. 1, 2026.

This is not the first time a lawmaker has pushed to rename an airport after Trump.

Back in April 2024, a group of House Republicans also pushed to rename Washington Dulles International Airport in Virginia after Trump.

Rep. Guy Reschenthaler, R-Pa., the House GOP's chief deputy whip, introduced the bill, along with six cosponsors. 

"In my lifetime, our nation has never been greater than under the leadership of President Donald J. Trump," Reschenthaler previously told Fox News Digital. "As millions of domestic and international travelers fly through the airport, there is no better symbol of freedom, prosperity and strength than hearing ‘Welcome to Trump International Airport’ as they land on American soil."

If passed, it would be the second D.C.-area airport named for a Republican commander in chief after Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport in Arlington, Virginia.

Rep. Barry Moore, R-Ala., previously told Fox News Digital that "it is only fitting that we would do the same for another one of our greatest presidents."

Rep. Paul Gosar, R-Ariz., also echoed Moore and said "I can see no more fitting recognition than naming both airports in our nation’s capital after America’s two best presidents: DCA after President Reagan and Dulles after President Trump."

Melissa Rivers is reflecting on what she lost in the Los Angeles wildfires — none of which was her late mom Joan Rivers’ heirlooms.

“The jokes and the major archival pieces, fortunately, about two and a half, three months ago were picked up for a national comedy center,” Melissa, 56, told People in an interview published on Sunday, January 19.

Melissa noted that the filing cabinet featured over 65,000 of Joan’s original jokes from the beginning of her career in 1950 until her death in 2014. (Joan died at age 81 after experiencing complications during an outpatient throat surgery.)

Melissa added that Joan’s “good stuff,” meaning her jewelry, was in a security deposit box in a bank vault. Joan’s wardrobe has been auctioned off for charity.

Melissa, who was one of the tens of thousands of locals forced to evacuate Los Angeles due to the ongoing wildfires, told CNN on January 8 that she grabbed Joan’s Emmy and a picture of her dad, Edgar Rosenberg, before leaving her home.

“That is the end of everything that belonged to my family and the history of it,” Melissa told the news organization at the time. “I grabbed my mom’s Emmy, a photo of my dad and a drawing my mother had done of me and my son. … I went for a drawing of hers, rather than a photo. I know I can find the photos, but a drawing I can’t replace.”

Besides the items she took before leaving her home, Melissa lost her other memories of her parents.

“I had her bathrobe and my dad’s bathrobe,” she told People. “Everybody is like, ‘What about her wardrobe?’ But I’m like, I lost the only three things of theirs that I kept in my house because they reminded me so much of them.”

Melissa explained that she and her fiancé, Steve Mitchel, lost “everything,” adding, “When we say we lost everything, well you can’t get it until you see the video. It’s not just my life, but my son Cooper’s life too. We were both only children, and just all of it is gone.”

Melissa, who welcomed son Cooper, 24, with John Endicott in 2000, said her life is inside three L.L. Bean boat totes. Melissa noted that she and her family are doing “as well as can be expected.”

“We’re all doing the best we can,” she said. “Cooper’s made of the same tough stuff I am. And we are all leaning on each other and coping.”

Now, Melissa has found temporary housing and is embracing her inherited sense of humor while she and her family navigate what’s next. “It’s my superpower,” she said of laughing during the worst times, like Joan. “I am my parents’ daughter.”

Los Angeles Rams star Tyler Higbee has the sweetest sideline support in wife Malea Higbee.

“What a wild couple months it’s been. Watching this love of mine put so much work in and grow into someone better and stronger is special to me,” Malea wrote via Instagram in December 2024 as he recovered from a chest injury. “It’s been a process, but I respect and admire everything about him and his mental strength. Multiple surgeries (mcl acl meniscus AND played with a torn labrum all last year) at year 9 is a hard pill to swallow.”

She added, “I’m so incredibly proud of how he handled pressure with humility, while still championing those around him. Equal parts mentally tough as physically; and that is what makes him an incredible husband and dada first and foremost, a leader, resilient, humble, disciplined, a great teammate, a mf dawg and ‘the greatest tight end in horns history.’”

At the time, Malea also gushed that Tyler is “everything.”
