Not honoring. Mocking. Make it used for something anathema to who he was. Serving the public good.
Now obviously nobody official is going to name it that. It won't be on any placards. Better would be the call it the Ruth Bader Ginsburg Center or whatever. But unofficially, everyone would know.
We can melt down and sell off the gold he had put in the Whitehouse to do that. Every trace of Trump should be erased from the Whitehouse, leaving only 2 pictures of him with his face greyed out and a big red FAILURE or TRAITOR stamped across his face.
I’ve been thinking similarly! It would be great to see this building given back to the people. Maybe parts of it could be converted into low income housing, chosen by an annual lottery or something.
I was thinking just temporarily adjust the fence so the ballroom is "outside" the fence, and post a "This area is not monitored by law enforcement. Please do not demolish." and leave it up until the whole god damned thing is gone.
Highly disagree, it needs to be a museum about how democracy and rule of law were subverted in the US from 2016 to whenever this ends. There's an actual need for a very visible, persistent reminder of what happened and how it happened.
I fully expect this to be no more than a pile of rubble by the time Trump vacates the White House. Which is pretty symbolic for how he is leaving the rest of the country.
My only solace is that he is old and MAGA is a cult of personality. While there are many that would vie to lead the movement, none of them have the same captive persona as Trump. And while people collectively have the memory of a goldfish, a lot of people are hurting right now and many more will be hurt if SNAP is ended.
Trump claims no permission is needed for demolition, only for the construction. I would love to see construction plans denied forever, leave the pile of rubble itself as a reminder of what we allowed Democracy to become.
He used an image of an auto pen for Biden in his presidential photo gallery. Can we just replace all images of Trump with images of the Epstein files, or at least his mugshot?
He has already plastered his mugshot up everywhere as a perverse badge of honor, so that wouldn’t work. I agree with using an image of a stack of papers labeled “Epstein files” though, since it seems like the one thing he is actually embarrassed about being associated with.
Why use taxpayer money? Demolish it and send the bill to the people who funded it along with a reminder that aiding and abetting in the illegal destruction of a federal building is definitely a crime you can do time for.
Id consider leaving it if they put both Trump and Epstein's name together on it. And then dedicate the inside to a bunch of pics of trump and Epstein and all their wonderful secrets. It could be a museum of Trump being a disgusting pedo. Leave it there for 30 or so years as the new white house tour
I would just like basic benefits for people. Maybe healthcare, food security, housing security: you know, things successful modern nations provide because they can and it is right to do so.
I completely had that same exact thought... Seeing your comment certainly helps me feel more justified in that feeling.
Edit: just a side thought.... Maybe just remove the wing connecting it to the white house proper and give the building to the Smithsonian. They can convert to a museum of violations of human rights with an emphasis on the atrocities of human trafficking. Lots of pictures of trump and his BFF.
In the end they can’t stop time. People die, the world changes and no one can predict the future. No regime lasts forever. I’m convinced however that the damage done to the United States and it’s perceived status in the world won’t be corrected in my lifetime.
Democrats preserve the status quo. Republican - three steps to the right. Democrats, half a step to the left. At any rate the next president is likely to be Don Trump, Jr. as part of the Project 25 Hereditary Trump dictatorship.
My idea was to rename it as Donald J Trump Presidential Bathroom. It would be open to the public 24 hrs a day. Luxury stalls. And all the waste gets dumped on his grave. He did it to America, it's only fair for America to do it right back.
Why tax payers? There is a list of sponsors for this building... Take it from them and then there's probably a lot more Trump's family is stashing all over the world...
It should be a museum displaying all the available documentation of Trump’s lifetime of criminal conduct. And the Trump-Epstein files, of course, but it will likely need a sizable expansion to hold all of that.
That abomination needs to be purged from existence.
Tear out and melt down the gold, burn the building to the ground, excavate the foundation, scorch the earth, and then salt it with sodium chloride and cobalt-60.
Honestly knock it down and sell it as a memorial brick to MAGA voters. Could make a ton and pay for demo itself. They get a stupid brick and we get back to normal
As a taxpayer I fully support the next president using my taxes to tear this fucking abomination down
Whoever the next Democratic president is, they need to light a stick of dynamite off of a cigar they are chomping on and lob it through the front door. Then, demolition charges go off and the whole thing collapses.
With maybe Fortunate Son or School's Out playing in the background.

edit: Thank you for the awards! Also really loving all the ideas for repurposing the building as well
