Could I-35 in Austin be named after President Trump? (www.kxan.com)

I don't think I need to explain on how many levels this is a shitshow. This said, 35 (we use IH if anything, so KXAN clearly has interns from out of state -- at least they didn't go full Californian by adding "the") is itself a clusterfuck, and as such, naming it after Trump almost makes sense.

Almost.

This is Texas, and no one is going along with this Gulf of America bullshit. Yes, it's Austin, but I can't see this being any different in Dallas, Houston (not along 35) or San Antonio. And the last one knows how to make picante sauce.

Unrelated, why would anyone make salsa in NYC? That's going to be absurdly high rent with high shipping costs.

I don't know about salsa (old Pace commercials notwithstanding) but Arizona tea started in Brooklyn and is now somewhere on Long Island.
