超过125，000人签署请愿书，要求重新命名特朗普大厦外的街道，以纪念前总统巴拉克·奥巴马。
这项请愿始于去年10月，在过去一周内已获得9万多个签名，并很快接近15万人的新目标。最初的目标是75，000人。
如果获得批准，特朗普大厦的新地址可能是“纽约州纽约市巴拉克·奥巴马大道725号，邮编10022”
该协议在网上获得了巨大的吸引力，出于对前总统的尊重或对唐纳德·特朗普总统的嘲讽，它正在全国范围内签署。

另一个帖子写道，“这会很痛。”
请愿书背后的女人伊丽莎白·罗文说，请愿书将被递交给纽约市长比尔de 布拉西奥和市议会。文件称，他们想以奥巴马的名字给这条街重新命名，因为他“有很多成就，比如”把我们的国家从大萧条中拯救出来；在任期间服务于两个完全没有丑闻的任期；拿出来Osama911事件的幕后策划者本拉登杀死了3000多名新闻记者纽约人。"
罗文不知道请愿书会像病毒一样传播开来。“老实说，我一开始是开玩笑的。我看到一个喜剧演员开玩笑说，如果特朗普以前总统奥巴马的名字命名，那会让他非常生气，我想为什么不呢，”她说新闻周刊在一个更早的对话。
这位56岁的艺术家是洛杉矶的居民，她说如果她的城市能以奥巴马的名义重命名两条街道，纽约也应该这样做。
当被问及她是否知道她的请愿书已经被病毒传播时，Rowin我回答说，“我已经不再想这件事了，但是现在它越来越流行了，我会和市议会成员重新联系，他们向我保证他们会继续我的事业。”
纽约州有一定的标准来批准重命名街道。其中之一是获奖者应该去世两年或更长时间。但是Rowin说她不担心。
“我确信条件可以改变。这些法律是任意的，可以变通，”她补充说。

以城市名人命名的其他地点包括克里斯托弗“臭名昭著的英国大兵”华莱士路、缔安娜罗斯游乐场和武堂区。
PETITION TO RENAME STREET OUTSIDE TRUMP TOWER 'PRESIDENT BARACK H. OBAMA AVE' GOES VIRAL WITH OVER 125,000 SIGNATURES
More than 125,000 people have signed a petition to rename the street outside Trump Tower in honor of former President Barack Obama.
Started in October last year, the petition has gained more than 90,000 signatures in the past week and is quickly approaching its new target of 150,000. The original target was 75,000.
If approved, Trump Tower's new address could be "725 President Barack H. Obama Avenue, New York, N.Y. 10022."
Gaining immense traction online, it is being signed nationwide either out of respect for the former president or as a jibe to President Donald Trump.
"#MyPresidentForever" was one user's comment on the appeal on MoveOn.org.
While another posted, "This is going to sting so bad."
Elizabeth Rowin, the woman behind the petition, said it would be delivered to New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio and the City Council. The document says they want to rename the street after Obama because he has "many accomplishments, like "saving our nation from the Great Recession; serving two completely scandal-free terms in office; and taking out Osama bin Laden, the mastermind behind September 11th, which killed over 3,000 New Yorkers."
Rowin had no idea the petition would go viral. "I had honestly started it as a joke. I saw a comedian joke about how it would make Trump so mad if it was named after former President Obama and thought why not," she told Newsweek in an earlier conversation.
A resident of Los Angeles, the 56-year-old artist said if her city could rename two streets in Obama's honor, New York should do the same.
When asked whether she knew that her petition had gone viral, Rowin responded, "I had stopped thinking about it but now that it is getting viral, I will reconnect with the City Council members who had assured me they would pursue my cause."
New York State has certain criteria to approve renaming a street. One of them is that the honoree should be deceased for two years or longer. But Rowin said she is not worried.
"I am sure the conditions can be changed. These laws are arbitrary and can be worked around," she added.
Once an iconic building in the Manhattan skyline, Trump Tower has recently witnessed plummeting occupancy rates. The building that was the headquarter for Trump's presidential campaign is one of the 12 buildings owned and managed by his organization in New York City, according to an October 2018 report by amny.com.
Other locations named in honor of famous people in the city include Christopher "Notorious B.I.G." Wallace Way, Dianna Ross Playground and Wu-Tang Clan District.
