Trump’s Advice for George Washington

When President Trump paid a visit to Mount Vernon in April 2018 with French President Emmanuel Macron, Politico reports Trump questioned why George Washington didn’t name the place after himself: “If he was smart, he would’ve put his name on it. You’ve got to put your name on stuff or no one remembers you.”

When his guide pointed out that Washington actually did pretty well considering the nation’s capital was named after him, Trump laughed and said, “good point.”
