The site of Adolf Hitler's death, and of his first grave, is now a non-descript parking lot for a non-descript apartment block. This was done for exactly the opposite reason: To prevent any site from becoming a locus of commemoration.
But I certainly see your reasoning for Mr. Trump. I wonder how many people are actually there for Trump himself? How many would stick with him when he doesn't have the power to get them something?
It‘s not like a normal parking garage, there is an unusual amount of CCTV there.
That's the "funny" part about assholes dictators: their close circle will still praise them after their death, because they want to maintain the system and the cult for their own benefit, and because they don't know who will take the dead's place, and that person could remember what they say about dead people and assume they'll do it again...
A comedy but showing well the process: the movie "The death of Staline".
I watch it annually out of hope
What they should do is announce Hitler's grave. And whenever people go there for worship or whatever...it's open game on those people. Because the only good Nazi....
I don't think Hitler has a single place that is a permanent grave.
After he shot himself, his Nazi friends buried him and his wife in about 1 foot of dirt in the garden outside the bunker. (This is the place that is today a parking lot for an apartment block). The Soviet Red Army exhumed that grave within a few days and cremated the bodies and scattered them so as to not create any single place that could become a focal point for future neo-nazi movements.

I am required to note that this article concerns the site of Hitler's birth, not of his death.
