Even The FAA Is Dumping Trump's Name From Its Navigation Codes

But FAA spokeswoman Laura Brown told The New York Times on Wednesday that those points would be renamed in the wake of Trump's disparaging comments about undocumented immigrants.

“In general, the FAA chooses names that are noncontroversial,” spokeswoman Laura Brown said.
