New Delhi: Name it, and he could be on it. US President Donald Trump’s name, all over the place and cyberspace to begin with, is now being etched on landmark American institutions as well as on arrangements emerging from conflicts around the world. More recently, Ukrainian officials have proposed renaming a part of the conflict-riddled Donbass region to ‘Donnyland’.
If this global name-scrawling wasn’t enough, some leaders want Trump to get a Nobel Prize, presumably for peace.
Call it new age megalomania or just old-fashioned narcissism, but it could be the Don of a whole new era. Here’s a selection from all the new shiny, happy, Trump places and things that just might make it to the vocabulary of a MAGA-flavoured world:
1) Donnyland
The region encompassing the oblasts (provinces) of Donetsk and Luhansk, which has been at the centre of conflict with Russia for most of the past four years, may be named ‘Donnyland’, says a New York Times report.
Donbass spans over an area of roughly 53,000 square km—about the size of Estonia—and a pre-war population of over 6.5 million that has fallen to an estimated 3.5 million now. If the proposal goes through, Donnyland would make for a smaller part of this region, with a population estimated at 190,000, although that may have fallen significantly too. An overlooked detail is that Donnyland is in a part of the Donbass annexed by Putin’s Russia, and those guys simply aren’t on the same renaming page.
2) Trump Route for International Peace and Security
In August last year, the leaders of Azerbaijan and Armenia, Ilham Aliyev and Nikol Pashinyan, respectively, signed a peace agreement brokered by the US. Thus ended a Karabakh in Azerbaijan. The deal included creation of a transit corridor between Azerbaijan and its exclave of Nakhchivan in Armenia’s southern Syunik Province.
The proposed corridor is to be called the ‘Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity’, with the US owning development rights over it. A senior official later said that the proposal for the name came from the Armenian side. Trump said that naming of the route after him is a great honour for him, but he didn’t ask for it.
3) Trump Heights over the Golan
In March 2019, Trump recognised Israeli sovereignty over Golan Heights, which Israel had captured from Syria in 1967. One good turn deserves another (Trump), so, in August 2019, Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu named a fresh new settlement ‘Ramat Trump’ (Hebrew for ‘Trump Heights’).
The settlements are considered illegal under international law and India has consistently opposed Israeli settlements on occupied territories at all UN resolutions.
“Thank you PM @netanyahu and the State of Israel for this great honor!” Trump tweeted in response.

4) Trump-class battleships
In December last year, Trump announced that the US will commission a new series of heavy battleships named after himself, as part of a revamped ‘Golden Fleet’.
The Trump-class ships will be the fastest, biggest battleships ever and by far more powerful than any other ever built, according to Trump. Once completed, the armed vessels would be equipped to carry hypersonic and ‘extremely lethal’ weapons, he said.

5) The Trump Kennedy Centre
The John F. Kennedy memorial centre for performing arts in Washington D.C. was renamed ‘The Trump-Kennedy Centre’ last December. This came after Trump appointed Second Lady of the US, Usha Vance, as one of the trustees on the board for the Kennedy Centre. The move was heavily criticised, with Democratic Representative Joyce Beatty of Ohio filing a motion in federal circuit court to reverse the move.
6) Donald J. Trump Institute of Peace
The US Institute of Peace, which was formed as a non-profit independent organisation by Congress, was renamed with President Trump’s name added to in December last year ahead of a peace deal to be signed there between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Secretary of State Marco Rubio commented at the time that Trump is the “president of peace”, and it was time for the US State Department to display that.
This morning, the State Department renamed the former Institute of Peace to reflect the greatest dealmaker in our nation's history.

7) Trump’s signature on US dollar bills
According to a US Treasury Department announcement last month, Donald Trump will become the first sitting president of the US to have his signature on banknotes, or dollar bills as they are called in the US. Trump’s signature would appear alongside Secretary Scott Bessent’s signature to mark America’s 250th anniversary.
8) Trump Gold Card
US has also unveiled a visa programme called the Trump Gold Card last year. By paying $15,000 as Department of Homeland Security processing fee and a contribution of $1 million, any foreign individual can get US residency within record time through the programme.
9) TrumpRX website for prescription drugs
Higher drug prices have been a prominent issue during the Trump administration, and this issue has been regularly raised by the US President during trade disputes with many countries, including India.
Earlier this year, the Trump administration launched a website called ‘TrumpRx’ to provide prescription drugs to Americans at discounted prices.
10) Trump accounts for children
Overseen by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) of the US government, the pilot programme asks for a contribution of $1,000 for children born between 1 January 2025 and 31 December 2028, who are US citizens with valid Social Security numbers. According to the IRS website, over 4 million children have registered for the tax-friendly Trump accounts.
