We wore sponges on our heads. It was the style at the time.

Alas, every president seems to get at least a couple species. Trump has the moth Neopalpa donaldtrumpi, named for its fuzz and the hope it would bring attention to conservation, and the extinct sea urchin Tetragramma donaldtrumpi, apparently just because the namer liked him.
At least they ended up a bit luckier than the Slovenian beetle Anophthalmus hitleri, I guess.
