May I suggest the Trump Epstein bridge?

No. Just no. We’ve got enough shit to rip his name off of in 3 years - let’s not add to the list.

Also, the motherfucker wouldn't get it that its a pisstake. Do you seriously want to hear him going on and on about how Canada loves him so much that we named a bridge after him?
