Okay, so imagine that we actually manage to have elections in 2026, and again in 2028. Also imagine that by then, Trump's health has gotten so bad he's no longer president, or has even died.
In that scenario, I would 100% support the use of taxpayer funds to demolish Trump's disgusting ballroom, and restore the East Wing as it was the day Biden left office, as closely as possible.
Furthermore, I would support a long-term effort to utterly and systematically obliterate any trace of Trump, Trumpism, and Trump's "legacy" in the government. Wipe him from history completely, except as a cautionary tale. Let nothing be named after him, or bear any of his fingerprints.
Finally, I would obviously support the absolute demolition of any and all of his businesses, to claw back everything he stole from us. Even if it costs more than we'd be able to recoup, just to ensure no one EVER fucking does this shit again. Leave no trace of his businesses standing. Let "Trump Tower" become a homeless shelter.
As someone from Europe: Almost all of that should have happened after the January 6 insurrection 5 years ago.
He’d be sitting in prison in most if not all free and democratic countries.
He should have been in jail long before that, impeached with the help of his party and barred from ever serving as President again. A reminder that Trump is not the sole problem, and is more of a symptom of a bigger issue that has been allowed to grow for decades.
Didn't SCOTUS force Cllorado to keep his insurrectionust ass on the ballots?
Republicans as a whole are insurrectionists. Fuck them all.
They indeed did.
He should've been imprisoned when he refused to return all the classified documents they found at Mar-a-Lago. That should've been the end of it right then and there. There are people in cells at Leavenworth for much lesser security violations.
In those countries, he wouldn't be able to do what he's done with our Congress. Every day, he commits impeachable acts, but the only political body that could do anything about it is compromised.
in other countries, they dont have a significant amount of right wing politicians in the government, US is considered the most right wing country in the west. why do you think so many foreign conservatives flock to the US to immigrate.
If you "tolerate" Trump's active destruction of the nation then you're just a traitor, no matter how you vote.
This has nothing to do with left and right
Yes. Take all the disaster relief funds he's denying blue states and undo this disaster.
hes already demanding 230mil from the DOJ. somehow, like usual, hes probably going to POCKET THE CASH for the ballroom and not build in the end.
You and I are so on the same page with this. The next President - if they are a Democrat, should use Trump's "Presidential Immunity" in the administration of recouping tax dollars for the American people and write up an Executive Order, taking Trump Tower, Bedminster and Mar-a-lago, selling the lot and using the money to remove and rebuild everyting within the Federal Government with his name on it. Also, using the precedent established by Trump to use the DOJ for personal vendettas, they should be instructed to disassemble all of the Trump Organization's holdings and repatriate those billions.
I imagine such moves would force the GOP to get on board with putting teeth into the laws that set the checks and balances between the Executive, Judiciary and Legislative branches, and set that back up again - this time with steep criminal sanctions if those laws are violated.
Damnatio memoriae

No chance in hell. America should never be allowed to forget the guy they elected twice.
And everyone of his accomplices potentially get jail time )assuming they committed criminal acts, which is a solid assumption, and are convicted)
Nonsense. Any money you would spend undoing his physical damage could be better spent helping people. Just put up a historical marker or something
nah just take the money that would go to red states or something
Keep it and turn into a giant open floor plan workspace to gather people to fix everything Trump busted. Keep it simple.
Sell all the tacky gold crap that will inevitably be there. MAGA will buy it up. Use the money to buy office equipment and fund the transition.
Eh, "President Trump memorial garbage dump" does have a certain appeal to it...
Your words show me that youre hurt, but well meaning. But thats not the proper way to go aboit these things. We should ignore him after hes gone and not do things out of spite. You could do much better by using several hundreds millions of dollars that you would use to destroy the ballroom by just helping people in need. And there are a lot of people that would be much more gratefull that you gave them the means to survive another day than to watch you kick the living shit out of Trump's corpse.
