Oklahoma names portion of highway after Trump

I've been to this part of Oklahoma--the panhandle is underrated. And now I have another reason to visit.

From The Hill:

The Hill Former President Trump is set to have a portion of an Oklahoma highway named after him with a new bill signed into law by Gov. Kevin Stitt (R).

The bill designates a section of State Highway 287 from Oklahoma's Boise City southeast to the Oklahoma-Texas border as "President Donald J. Trump Highway." 

Lawmakers removed a previous provision in the legislation, first proposed in the Oklahoma state Senate, that required a person be deceased for three years before a portion of the highway can be named after them.
