United Airlines is preparing for customers who may object to flying into an airport named for President Donald Trump, and reservation agents have been authorized to move those passengers to Fort Lauderdale or Miami without charging more.

We need to pass a Federal law that it's illegal to name anything after Trump, no airports, buildings, monuments, highways, bridges, etc. - with ONE exception: Sewage Treatment Facilities. That way, when you pass through that stinky part of town near the train tracks, you can say "I smell Trump."

Or maybe "Trump smells bad today."

His name is already slang in the UK for fart.

No sewage plants for him either, lest he besmirch John Oliver's name.
