唐纳德·特朗普总统、国会中的共和党议员、他亲自任命的官员,以及其他各类盟友都在竭尽全力把特朗普的名字、形象和个人标识铺遍全美各地。
这些行为不同于特朗普毕生将自己名字印在私人建筑上的举动,它们颇具争议:一方面是因为特朗普本身极具争议性,且当前支持率并不高,近期一直徘徊在30%左右;更重要的是,美国传统上只会用这类荣誉纪念逝者。将在任总统的形象印在建筑和公共政府展示物上,通常和君主制或威权政权有关。
民主党人对特朗普纪念邮票项目感到愤怒,他们已经提出立法,禁止将他的名字加在联邦建筑或硬币上,但这些法案很可能会在国会陷入停滞。共和党推动的以总统之名正式冠名更多公共设施的努力,也会面临同样的处境。
目前还有一些项目尚未被冠以特朗普的名字,但如果他计划在白宫增设的大型宴会厅得以建成,不难想象特朗普会一直将其称为“白宫特朗普翼”。他想要在阿灵顿国家公墓旁修建的凯旋门,大概率也会面临同样的情况。
美国独立250周年纪念活动为特朗普的纪念项目提供了绝佳契机。顺便提一下,250周年纪念日的官方说法是“半千年纪念(semiquincentennial)”。
以下是官方以特朗普之名冠名(或尝试冠名)的部分事项清单:
护照
为纪念美国独立250周年制作的官方旅行证件,将把特朗普的形象印在《独立宣言》上方,与开国元勋的图像相对。目前尚不清楚这类护照的发行量,但据美国国务院一名官员透露,“这款特朗普版护照将成为华盛顿护照办公室可供发放时的默认款式”。
美国国务院
美元纸币
特朗普的签名将出现在美国纸币上,这是美国历史上首次有在任总统的签名被印在货币上。通常情况下,纸币上印制的是财政部长的签名。但为纪念独立250周年,此次将使用特朗普的签名。
金币
由特朗普亲自任命的美国美术委员会,将把他的形象印在纪念独立250周年的金币上。正面:特朗普表情严肃,双手搭在“坚毅书桌”上。背面:展翅翱翔的雄鹰。委员会成员希望这款硬币尽可能做大——直径达到2英寸或更大。
美国财政部
共和党方面曾尝试将特朗普的形象印在100美元纸币和拟发行的250美元纸币上,但这项提议受到相关法律的阻碍:法律禁止在纸币上使用在世人物的肖像。
1美元硬币
除纪念金币外,美国财政部正尝试为独立250周年纪念发行一款印有特朗普形象的特制1美元硬币,尽管现有法律规定,总统去世两年后方可将其形象印在硬币上。

“金卡”签证
特朗普曾将其描述为“加强版绿卡”。据特朗普第二任期初期美国商务部长霍华德·卢特尼克的估算,美国商务部计划以每人100万美元的价格出售加急美国 residency 申请通道,希望能从20万名申请人手中募集1万亿美元资金。除了卢特尼克的模糊估算外,截至今年4月,仅有1人符合资格,但未来可能会有更多人购买该“金卡”。

战斗机
这一致敬方式相对间接。波音公司为五角大楼研发的新型第六代战斗机将被命名为F-47,特朗普于2025年宣布了这一命名。这显然是在呼应他在第二任期内成为美国第47任总统。
战列舰
去年12月,特朗普宣布将新型战列舰命名为“特朗普级”战列舰。目前尚不清楚这是否意味着即将投产的实体战舰最终会以他的名字命名。据《纽约时报》报道,特朗普对新型战列舰的生产进度感到不满,这也是导致他在4月解雇海军部长的原因。

处方药网站
特朗普曾承诺降低处方药价格,如今他正试图通过运营一个政府网站来兑现这一承诺,该网站将作为患者与制药商之间的中介平台。目前尚不清楚该网站是否能降低药价,但它确实被命名为“特朗普Rx”。
儿童投资账户
根据共和党2025年通过的税收支出法案,联邦政府将为新生儿开设特别投资账户,并存入1000美元。与其他以特朗普命名的项目不同,“特朗普账户”已被纳入美国法律。可通过常见问题解答查看您的孩子是否符合资格。
国家公园年卡
为纪念独立250周年,美国国家公园的年度通卡将替换部分公园的图像,改用特朗普的形象,这激怒了一些公园游客。一个环保组织已提起诉讼,要求停止这一改动。
美国内政部
肯尼迪艺术中心
美国法律规定,约翰·F·肯尼迪表演艺术中心是为纪念遇刺总统肯尼迪而设立的纪念馆,目前尚未有立法将特朗普的名字加入其中。但特朗普政府还是在建筑外墙上把自己的名字放在了肯尼迪之前。后续政府可以随时移除这些字样。特朗普已经将肯尼迪中心的董事会塞满了自己的支持者。该艺术中心将关闭两年进行翻新,许多艺术家拒绝在现任管理层领导下在此演出。
美国和平研究所
同样没有立法要求为美国和平研究所更名,该组织在特朗普第二任期初期遭到了大幅改组。但特朗普政府还是擅自更改了名称,将“唐纳德·J·特朗普”字样放在了该组织总部所在的华盛顿大楼的“美国和平研究所”标牌上方。特朗普称自己配得上这项荣誉,因为他声称自己谈判结束了多场国际冲突——尽管这是在他对伊朗开战之前。国会最终可能需要批准这项更名。
联邦建筑横幅
特朗普的形象被张贴在华盛顿各地联邦建筑的大型横幅上,其中有时会包括劳工部和农业部。最具争议的是,美国司法部大楼也曾悬挂过这类横幅。批评人士认为,这些横幅让人想起法西斯或共产主义政权的宣传手段——当政者会为自己树立强人形象。

棕榈滩国际机场
佛罗里达州议会和州长已经批准,将特朗普海湖庄园附近的机场更名为“唐纳德·J·特朗普总统国际机场”。美国交通部计划将该机场的三字代码从PBI改为DJT。
其高尔夫球场内的金色雕像
尽管使用纳税人的钱激怒了特朗普的批评者,但他的支持者也愿意自掏腰包纪念总统。例如,一家加密货币公司委托制作了一座金色雕像,最近在他位于佛罗里达州的多拉高尔夫俱乐部揭幕。
与爱泼斯坦的雕像
批评人士认为,用纳税人的钱纪念特朗普带有独裁和个人崇拜的色彩,但需要明确的是,美国保护言论自由——包括批评言论。国家公园管理局允许设置多座特朗普与已故 convicted 性犯罪者杰弗里·爱泼斯坦相拥的临时雕像。两人在数十年前就是熟人,但特朗普并未被指控与爱泼斯坦有关的任何刑事不当行为,且他称自己早在21世纪初就与爱泼斯坦断绝了往来。
不会被冠以特朗普之名的事物
其他一些特朗普想要冠名的项目似乎并未实现。特朗普政府曾提出,如果民主党人同意将纽约州的宾州车站和弗吉尼亚州的杜勒斯机场以他的名字重新命名,就将解冻数十亿美元原本用于纽约地区大型基础设施项目的资金。民主党人拒绝了这一要求。今年2月,一名联邦法官下令解冻这笔资金。
Trump stamp: The president wants taxpayer dollars to put his name all over the place
2026-04-29 20:09:35 UTC / CNN
A version of this story appeared in CNN’s What Matters newsletter. To get it in your inbox, sign up for free here.
President Donald Trump, Republicans in Congress, his hand-picked appointees, and all manner of other allies have been doing their best to put Trump’s name, image and likeness all over the place.
Using taxpayer dollars, these efforts differ from Trump’s lifelong effort to put his name on privately owned buildings. They’re controversial in part because Trump is divisive and not currently very popular; his approval rating has recently been stuck in the 30s.
More importantly, the US more traditionally memorializes the dead with such honors. Placing the image of a sitting president on buildings and in such public government displays is often associated with kingdoms or authoritarian regimes.
Democrats, bristling at the Trump stamps, have introduced legislation to ban his name from being added to federal buildings or coins, but those efforts are likely to be stuck in Congress. So will GOP efforts to officially name more things after the president.
Some things have not yet been designated to carry his name, but if his planned addition of a massive ballroom to the White House gets built, one can imagine Trump will always view it as the Trump Wing of the White House. Same goes for the triumphal arch Trump wants to put adjacent to Arlington National Cemetery.
The 250th anniversary of US independence is doing a lot of the heavy lifting in the Trump memorialization efforts. The term for 250th anniversary is “semiquincentennial,” FYI.
Here’s a partial list of what’s being done (or attempted) to officially stamp the country on Trump’s behalf.
Passports
Official travel documents meant to commemorate the country’s 250th anniversary will feature Trump’s image on top of the Declaration of Independence and opposite an image of the Founding Fathers. It is unclear how many will be issued, but the Trump document will apparently be the “default passport out of the Washington Passport office when available,” according to a State Department official.

US State Department
Dollar bills
Trump’s signature will appear on US paper currency, a first for a living president. Usually it is the Treasury secretary’s signature printed on money. But Trump’s will be used, again to commemorate the 250th anniversary.
A gold coin
The president’s hand-picked Commission of Fine Arts is putting his likeness on a gold coin, also commemorating the 250th anniversary. Heads: Trump, looking serious, his fists on the Resolute Desk. Tails: An eagle in flight. Commission members wanted the coin to be as big as possible – two inches in diameter or larger.

US Treasury
There are efforts by Republicans to put Trump’s likeness on the $100 bill and a proposed $250 bill but those are complicated by a law that prohibits using the likeness of a living person on paper bills.
$1 coins
Separate from the commemorative gold coins, the Treasury Department is trying to put Trump’s image on a special $1 coin, also for the semiquincentennial, despite the fact that the law seeks to prohibit images of presidents on coins until they had been dead two years.

‘Gold card’ visa
It’s been described by Trump as “a green card on steroids.” The Commerce Department sought to sell expedited access to US residency for $1 million per person in the hopes of bringing in $1 trillion from 200,000 people, according to an estimate from Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick early in Trump’s second term. Beyond Lutnick’s fuzzy math, only one person had qualified as of April, but more could buy the gold card in the future.

Fighter jets
It’s a less direct homage, but a new sixth-generation fighter jet being developed for the Pentagon by Boeing will be called the F-47, Trump announced in 2025. It’s an apparent reference to him being the 47th president during his second term.
Battleships
Last December, Trump announced a new class of battleships would be the “Trump class” of battleships. It’s not clear whether that means a physical ship, which is years away from production, would ultimately carry his name. The New York Times reported it was Trump’s frustration with the timeline for producing the new class of battleships that led to the ouster of his Navy secretary in April.

Prescription drugs website
Trump has tried to make good on promises to lower the price of prescription drugs by offering a government-run website that will act as a sort of clearinghouse to connect patients with drugmakers. It’s not yet clear whether the site will lead to reduced drug prices, but it is called TrumpRx.
Investment accounts for kids
The federal government will put $1,000 into special investment accounts for newborns as a result of the tax spending bill Republicans enacted into law in 2025. Unlike some other things named after Trump, Trump accounts are in US law. FAQ to see if your child qualifies.
National park passes
Annual passes to US national parks will celebrate the semiquincentennial and replace images of some parks with Trump, angering some parkgoers. An environmental group sued to stop the change.

Department of Interior
The Kennedy Center
Trump’s name has not been added to the Kennedy Center in US law, which recognizes the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts as a memorial to the slain president. But that didn’t stop the Trump administration from adding Trump’s name before Kennedy’s on the building’s wall. A subsequent administration could have the words removed. Trump has packed the Kennedy Center’s board with supporters. The arts center is closing for two years for renovations. Many artists refused to perform there under the current leadership.
The US Institute of Peace
There is also no legislation to rename the US Institute for Peace, an organization gutted early in Trump’s second term. But the administration changed the name anyway, putting Donald J. Trump over United States Institute for Peace on the DC building that is home to the organization. Trump said he deserved the distinction because he claimed he had negotiated the end to multiple international conflicts, although that was before he went to war with Iran. Congress may ultimately need to agree to the name change.
Banners on federal buildings
Trump’s image has been plastered on large banners on federal buildings around Washington, including, at times, the departments of labor and agriculture. Most controversially, a banner was unfurled at the Department of Justice. These banners remind some critics of propaganda in fascist or communist regimes, which honor strongman leaders while they’re in power.

Palm Beach International Airport
Florida’s Legislature and governor have approved changing the name of the airport nearest Trump’s Mar-a-Lago golf club to the President Donald J. Trump International Airport. The Department of Transportation plans to change the airport’s three-letter designation from PBI to DJT.
Gold statue at his golf course
While the use of taxpayer dollars rankles Trump’s critics, his supporters are also willing to put their own money in to honor the president. For instance, a cryptocurrency outfit commissioned a gold statue that was recently unveiled at Doral, his Florida golf club.
Statues with Epstein
While critics see shades of autocracy and hagiography in the veneration of Trump with taxpayer dollars, it’s important to note that free speech – and criticism – are protected in the US. The National Park Service permitted multiple temporary statues of Trump and the convicted late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein in forms of embrace. They were known associates decades ago, but Trump hasn’t been accused of any criminal wrongdoing related to Epstein and said he had a falling out with Epstein in the early 2000s.
Where Trump’s name won’t go
Other things Trump wants named after him don’t appear to be happening. The administration offered to unfreeze billions of dollars earmarked for a massive New York area infrastructure project if Democrats agreed to rename Penn Station in New York City and Dulles Airport in Virginia after him. They refused. A federal judge in February ordered the money released.
