  "textContent": "Dulles International Airport could soon be getting a makeover.\n\nThe consideration was in the spotlight at the White House on Wednesday as President Donald Trump and U.S. Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy met with top architects and design firms.\n\nThe president met in the cabinet room with infrastructure and construction companies pitching their proposals to remake Dulles terminals, redo runways, get rid of the people-movers and maybe even give it a new name.\n\nWeeks ago, Trump praised Dulles’ iconic main terminal, but also called it a \"bad airport.\"\n\n\"They've got a great building, but they've got a BAD airport so we're going to turn that around,\" Trump said.\n\nIn July, the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority announced a $7 billion masterplan to overhaul Dulles over 15 years, but the administration views that timeline as too slow.\n\nVirginia Rep. Suhas Subramanyam tells FOX 5 that the airport authority — not the president — should pilot of Dulles’ makeover.\n\n\"If the plan is to spend more federal resources on improving Dulles airport for travelers, I’m all for that, all for it, but ifts a big plan to rename Dulles airport ‘Trump Airport,’ I will fight tooth and nail against that,\" Subramanyam said.\n\nThere have been unofficial renderings of a possible new terminal at Dulles labeled the \"Donald J. Trump terminal,\" but for not that’s official.\n\nThe actual master plan the airport authority has calls for new concourses, a main terminal expansion, new parking, rental car facility and a fifth runway.\n\nBut the idea of putting the president’s name on Dulles gained mixed reactions from travelers.\n\n\"He just doesn't have to put his name on every building,\" one traveler told FOX 5.\n\n\"Yes, it’s ok. He’s the president, right?\" said another.\n\n\"We don’t need to put his name on it,\" another flyer said. \"No. Nope. Nope.\"\n\nThe Washington Metropolitan Airport Authority declined to comment on Wednesday.\n\nAlready, the Kennedy Center and the Institute of Peace have had President Trump’s name added to them.",
