This made me laug8h out loud!
A proposal to honorarily rename the street in Chicago where Trump Tower is located to “Barack Hussein Obama Way" was introduced at city council this week.
The proposal was introduced by 42nd Ward Alderman Brendan Reilly on Wednesday, the eve of the grand opening of the Obama Presidential Center in the city's Jackson Park neighborhood -- an event President Trump was not invited to.
If approved, the ordinance would honorarily rename the east side of North Wabash Avenue between East Kinzie Street and East Wacker Drive to “Barack Hussein Obama Way."
Plus, an honorary street sign marking the designation would also be put up right outside Trump Tower, located at 401 N. Wabash Ave., and on the Wabash Avenue Bridge, accrding to the proposed ordinance.

I sure hope this thing passes. Can you imagine how enraged the Orange One will be?
