Trump's naming spree draws legal scrutiny

President Trump’s bid to secure his legacy is taking on a new name — or, rather, his own.

This month, the president’s quest to leave his mark on history transcended his policy priorities and political victories in favor of renaming things in his honor.

Trump affixed his name to two Washington institutions, the U.S. Institute of Peace (USIP) and the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, despite one pending legal challenge and drawing another.

He also announced a new “Trump class” of battleships Monday with nuclear capabilities, the first of which, the USS Defiant, will be the “largest, deadliest and most versatile and best-looking warship anywhere on the world’s oceans,” by Navy Secretary John Phelan’s measure.
