One day, you could find yourself in Utah, with Google Maps directing you to take the Donald J. Trump Utah National Parks Highway, before getting off on the Stormy Daniels rampway.

State Rep. Mike Noel (R) has introduced a bill that would rename the Utah National Parks Highway in honor of Trump, as a way of thanking him for dramatically shrinking the size of the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument. If the bill passes, it would cost $124,000 to change 62 different signs along the highway, the Deseret News reports. Another Republican, Rep. Susan Duckworth, has thrown a wrench in his plan, coming up with her own bill that would rename the highway in memory of the late industrialist and philanthropist Jon M. Huntsman Sr.
