## Resource

The Trump administration is pushing to rename New York’s Penn Station as part of an $8 billion overhaul, with Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy openly endorsing the idea — calling it “a nice ring.” While Trump himself says he wasn’t the original proposer, he’s open to the concept, even joking it might not make sense to name a NYC landmark after a state. The original 1910 Beaux-Arts station was demolished in 1963 for Madison Square Garden, leaving commuters with a drab underground hub — now being redesigned with classical stone and grandeur. Critics, including a New York Democrat and transit advocates, call it a “hostile takeover” and “Trump vanity project,” warning of wasted taxpayer money. The federal government took over the project last year after local agencies stalled, and while the station’s future design includes keeping MSG, its name remains a flashpoint in political theater.
