BREAKING: Trump announced plans for a new promenade connecting the Lincoln Memorial and Reflecting Pool area to the Potomac River.
During the announcement, he floated a possible name:
"They want to call it the Trump Promenade, but I don't know if I want to do that."
Notice the construction.
Not "I want to name it after myself."
Not "Congress named it after me."
Just the familiar "they want..." framing, where the idea appears in public attached to his name while he performs reluctance.
To be precise, no reporting identifies who "they" are.
But the result is the same: the project is now widely being discussed as the "Trump Promenade."
Public infrastructure. Public land. Public money.
Private branding.
