And if they do, some of us will take national tours for the express purpose of pissing on every one of them.

[–] tostane@thelemmy.club 5 points 3 hours ago

I hope everyone rallys and destroys all things with trum on it for what he did to all of us.

[–] Evrala@lemmy.world 4 points 3 hours ago

I for one am in favor of keeping his stupid ballroom. It just needs a little tweak. It can be "The Donald J Trump Museum of Corruption."

[–] qarbone@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

Wow, he said something factual.

Is this terminal lucidity? Is he actually dying soon?

[–] TheStaffmaster@lemmy.world 3 points 3 hours ago

that's not true. Germany has holocaust museums. Similar idea.

This is a rare moment of self-awareness from a creature that lives in an imaginary world.

The Donald J Trump Sewage Treatment Facility

[–] nieminen@lemmy.world 7 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Naaa, that facility is necessary and performs a useful service.

[–] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

The Donald j trump memorial cesspool

[–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 3 hours ago

Not smelly and toxic enough

[–] switcheroo@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

Someone will. A paid toilet with monuments to you, you worthless piece of shit child-rapist. There will be one that's a monument of how ugly and fat you are-- people can just freely wizz on that one. There'll be a monument of how gross your asshole mouth is-- people can shit in that one. See! Lots of monuments and some smart entrepreneur making bank.

[–] raze2012@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago

Don't worry we'll museums for him. These days, instead of newspaper headlines and TV footage we'll have wall of unhinged tweets and AI propaganda posted on the official POTUS feed

[–] Pika@sh.itjust.works 9 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago) (1 children)

Oh you poor soul, it's not only that, they are likely going to tear down any monuments or rename them when you are gone as well.

I see no route where regardless of party who gets in in 2028 is going to keep any of the names either, like "Lake America" and "Gulf of America", it's such an insult to the rest of the world anyone running would decide against it and without any real opposition against tearing down the existing monuments made, I don't see any real blockers.

I do think that they are likely right that the ballroom or whatever it ends up actually being will stay, but everything else? I firmly expect won't be.

[–] BrianTheeBiscuiteer@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

Putting it out there that I'll pay my way to DC and help tear down any of Trump's pet projects for no cost whatsoever.

[–] GolfFoxtrotLima@sh.itjust.works 18 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Good, tear down the monuments already built for him when he dies

[–] ProfessorProteus@lemmy.world 8 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

We should tear them down now and make him watch.

[–] AbidanYre@lemmy.world 5 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

He should have to pay to restore everything he's destroyed.

[–] BrianTheeBiscuiteer@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

His entire family should. Up to and including Barron's kids if he ever has them.

[–] JohnnyMac@lemmy.world 7 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago) (1 children)

I met a traveller from an antique land

Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone

Stand in the desart. Near them, on the sand,

Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,

And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,

Tell that its sculptor well those passions read

Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,

The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed:

And on the pedestal these words appear:

"My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:

Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"

Nothing beside remains. Round the decay

Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare

The lone and level sands stretch far away.

- Percy Shelley, "Ozymandias"

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

I'm more hoping to give him the Akhenaten treatment

[–] TheStaffmaster@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

the Lucius Crassius treatment is more apropos...

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 1 points 46 minutes ago

Why not both

[–] kenjen@feddit.online 11 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

We'll build monuments to his assassin.

[–] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 8 points 11 hours ago

Cholesterol?

If you need to build a monument to yourself, you don't deserve a monument. Building a monument to yourself is like giving yourself a plaque for a lifetime achievement award. It means a lot if you receive it from an organization representing your profession. It means nothing if you just have a plaque made and put it in your wall.

[–] dermanus@lemmy.ca 28 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

That's more perceptive than I'd give him credit for.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 7 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

There should be a monument to Trump. USA needs a constant reminder of the danger of populists and Fascists. I suggest a huge public toilet.

Thanks for leaving us the bill to tear all that shit down.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 12 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago) (1 children)

When he's out of office, Congress should pass a law that it's illegal to name anything after Trump, EXCEPT: Sewage Treatment Plants.

Then people who live near the plants can say things like "WOW, Trump is especially stinky today. Trump stinks much worse than usual."

[–] GardenGeek@europe.pub 5 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

That way you insult sewage plants which are important to keep out environment clean for everyone and actually clean things up instead of making a mess... both things do not really fit Trumps behavior.

We hope his name will vanish asap but many will have shrines to him, indoctrinated.


Misinformation,

Childlike common clay masses,

Do it in the winter, he might get an ice sculpture. I’d be fine with this one.

[–] MintyFresh@lemmy.world 3 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

I'd gladly donate to a trump memorial provided he puts it to use immediately. Big ol gaudy headstone, gold leaf, Jesus statue, the works.

[–] SocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.world 2 points 11 hours ago

[–] betanumerus@lemmy.ca 4 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago)

So he agrees he's a terrible president.

To paraphrase a great skit by a comedian I later lost a lot of respect for:
