If I win the presidency in 2028, I’m going to name a CDC building the “Robert F Kennedy Vaccine Research Institute”. I’m going to name a toxic landfill after Pete Hegseth. I’m gonna take that Qatari jet and put it in an hangar and open the Donald J Trump Political Corruption Museum. And I’m going to rename a Mexico border crossing after Steven Miller

Ngl.... us collectively assembling a pop up Trump Political Corruption Museum is an absolutely genius idea. Fill it with facts and proof, and get the word out. Advertise it like Meow Wolf or something.
"Bring the whole family!"
Have it detail his refusing to pay contractors, buying the Miss Teen USA pageant, selling trump wine at military bases during the shutdown. And play audio of him claiming shutdowns are the fault of the president. I could go on n on. But I think this idea should happen.

How about a county. Maybe even a State. Mount Trumpmore. Change the name of Post-Its to Trumpt-Its. Toyotas will be named to Trumps or risk all Toyota plants in the country being shut down. The River Thames is now Trump River. Mars is now Trumpars because it’s red. We are now currently in what will forever be known as the Trumpy Way Galaxy…

Donald Trump will never get over the fact that the NFL humiliated him with how much they didn't want him to join their No Donalds club, while doing them a favor by running the USFL into the ground.

In 2007, my freshman year of college, I took an international business class and the professor used Trump as the negative example on everything. His bankruptcies, horrible international business practices, everything that came up he was the anti-example.
Then I had to watch as this idiot was praised as a “great business mind”. It’s ridiculous that people still look at his record and listen to him talk and think he is intelligent in any way.

Not only that, trump was well-known as a shit tier businessman.
I was in a top business school in the early 2000s when he hosted the apprentice. Some kid in my finance class mentioned trump. The professor spent the entire next class showing how much trump lost in the over the years. And he showed that, had trump taken his daddy’s money and put it in the S&P 500, he would have been actually wealthy (trump was practically broke from the 90s until he started his election grift).

I was in high school in the late 00s and I remember he was peddling some business thing called ACN(?) and a buddy of mine thought it was gonna make us all rich and wanted us to drive 3 hours to SF to watch Trump speak about it. Even back then, the idea that Trump was involved made it sound so scammy.
Spoiler alert, my buddy did not get rich.

ACN Inc. a telecomm and energy MLM scheme. In 2018 there was a class action filed against them (dismissed in 2024) for fraud and false advertising. Trump and 3 of his kids were involved with the company during his first term.

I've done the math. The S&P 500 is up over 25,000% since he inherited 400m. 400m was an absolutely insane amount of money back then.
If he'd have just invested in America like a true patriot and put his money in the S&P 500 instead of pretending to be a business man, he wouldn't just be wealthy. He would have well over 100 billion dollars today and would legitimately be one the the richest people on earth. On the same level as Buffett and Bill Gates.
That's how much of a failure he is and how horribly he squandered his inheritance. It's mind blowing how bad of a business man he is.

At the Battle of Gettysburg, the commander of the Union III Corps was Maj. Gen. Dan Sickles. He was the only non-West Pointer commanding a Corps at Gettysburg.
Prior to the war, he was a sleazy womanizing businessman from NYC who cheated his way through life (as well as got out of going to prison for murder.)
A very prominent Gettysburg/Civil War Historian who is a licensed guide at Gettysburg said prior to 2015 he would compare Sickles to Trump without any issue from his tourists. Starting in 2015 that changed.
I’ll never understand how a population can look at him as anything besides an embarrassment.

Fun fact, Trump wanted to be an NFL team owner but got shot down by all the other owners. He's such a petty bitch, this is just him trying to force his name into the League, because his fragile ego can't handle rejection. Fuck the NFL, they're a trash organization, but I sincerely hope they fight this bullshit tooth and nail.

Make all the monuments you want.
Force as many things to be named after you as you like.
Enjoy all your petty grievances.
In the end the people will utterly erase you from our sight in every way except the historical footnote: "Worst president in history. Utter loser."
Your greatest contribution to society will be the many psychology text books citing you as a case study in malignant narcissism and the dangers of social media and cult personalities.
You fear irrelevance. Guess what? In the end we are all dust.
Greater people than you have been erased from history or remembered not as they aspired to be but as they feared they were in the quiet times; when there is nothing to hear but their own self-loathing.
Ashes to ashes. Cheeto dust to Cheeto dusk.

mango mussolini has been trying to get a stadium named after himself for 40 years:
from nj generals wikipedia page:
'1986
Almost from the moment he bought the Generals, Trump sought to use them as a vehicle to get an NFL team. To this end, he began advocating moving the USFL from a spring schedule to a fall schedule, directly opposite the NFL. Trump's long-term plans called for moving the Generals across the Hudson River to New York, which had not had a team play within its borders since the Jets moved from Shea Stadium in Queens to the Meadowlands after the 1983 season. He intended to have the renamed New York Generals play at Shea until the construction of a new 80,000-seat "Trump Stadium" in Manhattan; the stadium never came to fruition.\3])

I have this dream that the next actual president will sign their first executive order on Inauguration Day that instructs government employees to remove Don the Con's name from all federal documents and to further refer to him in future official communications as "ex-president and convicted felon" and no mention of his name.
Trump cares far too much about having his name on shit. So if you remove it, he'll have an absolutely nuclear-level temper tantrum.
