** Caution: EXTERNAL Sender ** I've looked it up and nothing is mentioned about Trump trying to remove the metric signs on the I-19fwy from Tucson to Nogales. However, I did read articles that when the signs get too worn they're talking about removing them unfortunately.
The positive aspect is that businesses and people that reside along this stretch of road have expressed that they want the signs to remain in metric! I have never heard Trump using metric terms at all. I don't feel he likes the metric system and he's probably not even knowledgeable about it. He's going on 78 yrs old most of those people hate the system unfortunately.

That would be too minor a matter to deal with and would be contrary to existing law, as metric is the "preferred" measurement system in the U.S. I have heard Trump using metric measurements in his speeches. Some anti-metricists are implying the metric is unAmerican, but we have heard that nonsense before. Metric was favored by Thomas Jefferson, was officially recognized by Ulysses Grant, etc. Whatever your source is, write a letter and correct ignorance. ============ On Fri, 2 May 2025, harry wyeth via USMA wrote: > I don't really belong to the USMA any more but seem to get messages > anyway.
