A Louisiana legislative committee has advanced a bill to name a proposed new Mississippi River bridge after Donald Trump.

State Rep. Michael Echols believes naming the bridge after Trump could help secure his support and funding for the project.


Would be the ultimate Trump move ever to build it then not pay any of the contractors or suppliers.

Need to think bigger. Change I-10 in Louisiana to I-Trump. Add Trump patches to LSU uniforms. Change “Mike the Tiger’ to “Mike Trump Tiger’. Etc.

It doesn't matter what they call it. That bridge MIGHT have double the traffic count of the Audubon Bridge once it's built. It's way the hell out of the way.

I disagree. There are a LOT more employers near the proposed bridge than around the Audubon.

This is really pathetic.


He simply knows Trump's greatest weakness is how easy it is to manipulate him by petting his narcissism. The problem is that if anyone in his inner circle knows BR or does any research, Trump will soon find out it will not be the Trump bridge but instead the "newest bridge," taking its rightful place alongside the old and new bridges.

Instead of a toll booth it dead ends at the drive thru of a McDonald’s.

I can imagine the liberal extremists that would terrorize the bridge if it were named after Trump.

I'd almost be afraid to use it

3 billion ?
A few years ago it was barely 1 billion. And they haven’t even put down the first piling.

Is Trump the most worshipped New York City-born person in Louisiana history?

my grand grandpappy used to say them northerners couldn't be trusted.

Concrete and metal prices have risen and engineering and design costs also have increased especially since every other town hall or EIS statement an element of the project is changed and requires new designs and preliminary engineering to with it.
