  • The bill aims to rename the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone as the 'Donald John Trump Exclusive Economic Zone of the United States.'
  • Rep. Steube argues the renaming honors Trump's contributions to America's strength and economic prosperity.
  • Critics accuse Steube of 'cult worship' and question the bill's priorities.
  • This is not the first attempt to name federally controlled entities after Trump; previous efforts included renaming an airport and a federal prison.
