As anyone who has ever seen his buildings knows, Donald Trump has always liked to see his name displayed prominently. It\u2019s become a hallmark of his presidency, to the point that the Treasury Department announced on Thursday that President Trump\u2019s signature will appear on U.S. dollars later this year, a first for a sitting U.S. president.<\/p>\n
The move is the latest reflecting a push to imprint his personal brand on Washington and the nation in ways that could outlast his presidency.<\/p>\n
In total, since the start of Mr. Trump\u2019s second term, there have been more than a dozen instances of his name, image or signature emblazoned on a variety of American initiatives and institutions. Some changes seem as if they could be lasting, some are caught up in the courts, and others may never get off the ground.<\/p>\n
Here is a look at that ever-growing list.<\/p>\n

Mr. Trump’s signature is set to appear on U.S. dollars later this year<\/span>. It is not clear whether his signature will appear on all currency notes. <\/p>\n U.S. Treasury<\/p>\n The administration is planning to feature Mr. Trump\u2019s face on multiple coins to celebrate the nation\u2019s 250th anniversary. The move is legally dubious<\/span>. It\u2019s also rare. Few people have made it onto U.S. currency while still alive.<\/span> <\/p>\n Eric Lee\/The New York Times<\/p>\n Eric Lee\/The New York Times<\/p>\n Trump Card<\/p>\n The administration officially rolled out the program in December<\/span> but first previewed the name in February 2025. At that Oval Office meeting discussing the program, Mr. Trump said he was willing to lend his name \u201cfor free.\u201d <\/p>\n TrumpRX<\/p>\n Dr. Mehmet Oz, who runs Medicare and Medicaid, has said that Mr. Trump was not involved in picking the name. \u201cWe thought it had a catchy element to it,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n Trump Accounts<\/p>\n House Republicans abruptly changed the name from \u201cMAGA Accounts\u201d before passing their wide-ranging domestic policy bill last year. Mr. Trump has said the name was Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent\u2019s idea<\/span>. <\/p>\n Department of Interior, via Center for Biological Diversity<\/p>\n U.S. Navy<\/p>\n U.S. Air Force<\/p>\n Proposed uses<\/p>\n Johnny Milano\/The New York Times<\/p>\n Todd Heisler\/The New York Times<\/p>\n The Trump administration unsuccessfully pressured Senator Chuck Schumer, Democrat of New York, to rename New York\u2019s Penn Station for him<\/span>, offering in return to release billions of dollars he had frozen in federal infrastructure funding.<\/span> <\/p>\n Shawn Thew\/EPA, via Shutterstock<\/p>\n In that same pressure campaign, the Trump administration pushed Mr. Schumer to rename Dulles Airport<\/span>. That wasn\u2019t successful either but still seems to be of interest to the president.<\/span> <\/p>\n Washington Commanders<\/p>\n Administration officials have discussed Mr. Trump\u2019s desire for the new stadium to be named after him<\/span>. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said it would be a \u201cbeautiful name,\u201d as he enabled the stadium’s construction. But the legislation that kicked off the redevelopment process was signed before he took office.<\/span> <\/p>\n Ruth Fremson\/The New York Times<\/p>\n Joseph Eid\/AFP via Getty Images<\/p>\n Early in Mr. Trump\u2019s second term, House Republicans introduced several bills that sought to expand his likeness on a number of things, such as a $100 bill<\/span> and a new $250 bill<\/span>. Those proposals haven\u2019t gained traction.<\/span> <\/p>\n Chip Somodevilla\/Getty Images<\/p>\n In an effort to copy the deep-cutting tactics of Elon Musk\u2019s Department of Government Efficiency, this bill sought to pare $150 million in annual funding from the Washington, D.C. Metro system unless it renamed itself to honor Mr. Trump<\/span>. Like the other House bills on this list it has gone nowhere. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" As anyone who has ever seen his buildings knows, Donald Trump has always liked to see his name displayed prominently.
