One thing is certain:  AU3 will never fly out of Palm Beach.

Isn't the Florida turnpike named after Ronald Reagan?  Time to name either I-75 or I-95 after Trump.

We are really starting to resemble a third world country with a totalitarian military dictatorship.  Usually this kind of stuff is done AFTER the President is out of office.

Like back when our esteemed teachers were teaching young skulls of mush to sing the praise of Barry Soetoro?

Like this list?

Quite a lot, actually. A few notable examples from before he left office in January 2017:

**Places**
- Mount Obama in Antigua and Barbuda, renamed from Boggy Peak on Obama's birthday, August 4, 2009 (though this was reversed back to Boggy Peak in 2016).
- A road in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania was renamed Barack Obama Drive in honor of his 2013 visit.
- Obama Way in Seaside, California, renamed from Broadway Avenue in 2010.
- The Barack Obama Plaza, a motorway service area in Moneygall, Ireland (his ancestral Irish town).

**Schools**
- Barack Obama Elementary School in Prince George's County, Maryland, named in June 2009 while under construction.
- Barack Obama Academy in Oakland, California, renamed in March 2009.
- Barack and Michelle Obama Academy in Atlanta, Georgia, renamed in November 2016.

**Species** — this is the fun category. Nine different species — from an extinct lizard to a trapdoor spider — were named after Obama while he was still in office, more than any other president (Theodore Roosevelt is a distant second with seven). A few examples:
- Caloplaca obamae, an orange-red firedot lichen found only on Santa Rosa Island, California — the first organism named after him.
- Aptostichus barackobamai, a trapdoor spider found among the redwoods of north-central California.
- Etheostoma obama (the "spangled darter"), a fish named in a 2012 study on Tennessee river fish.
- Teleogramma obamaorum, a cichlid fish from a Congo stream, named for both Barack and Michelle Obama.

Want me to dig into any particular category — like the full species list, or the U.S. street/highway renamings (some of those came later, after he left office)?

Let the banana republic begin!
