The name of that website is interesting. I had heard of landmarks being named after politicians, laws being nicknamed after them (e.g. obamacare) or after judicial decisions, but it seems that it's usually, at least seemingly, by others. This one is directly named after the president launching it. I can't think of a precedent, was there one?

Incidentally, it was GOP who branded the Affordable Care Act as Obamacare in an effort to make it seem bad. Obama never asked for or wanted that name, although he later accepted it.

Trump, as we know, has an insatiable need for recognition and attempts to put his name on everything he can.
