Since returning to office in January, Trump has affixed his name to prominent Washington buildings, a planned class of Navy warships, a visa program for wealthy foreigners, a government-run prescription drug website, and federal savings accounts for children.

Some historians see it as a superficial legacy-building effort by the president that may not stand the test of time. A backlash has already begun against the renaming of Washington’s premier performance venue as the Donald J. Trump and John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts, with several acts canceling in protest.

    Will the next Democratic leader want to “move forward”? Sadly, probably yes. I am hoping I am wrong.

      I think it’d be funny if some Democrat were to write a quick bill called the “Make America Actually Great Again”, and it was just about removing his name from everything. And it gets rammed through Congress while he’s still living to watch it. 🤣

      That, or the next Democratic President just does it by executive order the day of their inauguration, and, most importantly, has it implemented immediately. No waiting for the courts to approve it, because none of shit was done in the first place by normal processes, so reversing it should not have to wait, either.
