Excited Russians Want to Rename a Street after Donald Trump And ‘Make Their City Great Again’

On the lighter side of things that have come out of Donald Trump's historic victory on November 8th...

Residents of the small Russian city of Ryazan have started a petition seeking to rename its “Bezbozhnaya Street” to “Street of Donald Trump”.

“Recently elected U.S. President Donald Trump is a big friend of Russia and is a supporter of traditional values,” explains the petition launched on change.org.

The petition for a Trump Street has turned out to be quite popular. It’s gathered enough signatures to be officially reviewed by the authorities.

“With a street named after Donald Trump we can make Ryazan great again,” said one of the supporters of the petition.

I love it! "Make Ryazan Great Again"...where can I get the hat?

Of course, not everybody is on board.

Some commenters, however, expressed caution: “You should have waited to see Trump’s first moves. What if he will support the sanctions against Russia? You will look like idiots then.”

This is a very good point - sort of like maybe the Nobel Peace Prize committee should have waited to see if Obama was actually going to end any wars (or not start droning people around the world), before lionizing him and sending him a cheque for a million bucks.

Make Ryazan Great Again

Nice.

My Indian friends are happy too.

It will be a long wait.

“According to Ryazan city regulations,” the official said, “the street can be named after a famous person, Russian or foreign, only five years after the death of this person”.

Yes, let's hope this cannot be enacted for many, many years.

I hope they can rename it before the next election.

He is 70 years old, obese, and addicted to greasy food. It's a miracle he's still alive.

In a country that murders journalists and locks people up for protesting is it any surprise Donald Trump is a hero there?

Even if he died this instant still wouldn't happen unless the presidential term is now 5+ years?
