COVID-19 is ravaging Florida, so Rep. Anthony Sabatini (R-FL) sprang into action and announced that he filed a bill to name a highway in the Sunshine State after former President Donald Trump. It seems rather weird to want to name a highway after a twice-impeached one-term president, but that’s what Sabatini wants to do, and he started his tweet off by writing “BREAKING” as if he was dealing with a direly important issue.
“BREAKING: Today I filed the Bill to name Florida’s longest road—U.S. Highway 27—the ‘President Donald J. Trump Highway,’ to honor one of America’s greatest Presidents,” he tweeted. In the tweet, he links to a petition which states, “The Establishment is trying to DESTROY President Donald Trump’s legacy. I refuse to let that happen. I am officially refiling my bill to rename Highway 27 the President Donald J. Trump Highway! Add your name to show your support!”
Sooo brave!

How is a one-term President who lost the Popular Vote twice considered “one of America’s greatest Presidents”?

Just rename it Loser Highway, and everyone will know who it’s named after.
