Branding of United States government programs and facilities after Donald Trump

During the second presidency of Donald Trump, a number of United States government facilities and programs were officially named after Donald Trump or had his likeness put on them. While it is common in the United States to use former presidents' names for memorials to honor past service, it is unusual to do so for a sitting president. This activity has been described as engendering a cult of personality in Trump. Some, such as the renaming of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, have been legally contested and overturned.
