    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.

        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.

      And everyone of his accomplices potentially get jail time )assuming they committed criminal acts, which is a solid assumption, and are convicted)

      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.

      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.
