"We’re going to have to devote a fair amount of time to taking Trump’s name off things when he’s gone — but it will be one of the most joyful parts of rebuilding our country."

Took the words right out of my mouth.

Herewith a note for King Donald the Demented: I suggest you visit a few very interesting historical places before your demise: Tojo Towers in Tokyo is one. Another is Mussolini Meadows in Rome. And the third is Hitler Heights in Berlin. Check with the locals for directions...and then realize that the same fate awaits you and your (ahem) legacy.

You've nailed the gist of the problem: we need to know who, in the face of Trump's frequent absences and lack of commitment to doing the job of president, is making the decisions about national and international policies. Keep beating that drum; it might be key to making Trump's lackeys in the cabinet invoke the 25th and remove him from office Obviously, this will become a clash of the pathetic, lower-case titans as they scramble to seize power and prevent others of their cabal from seizing it first. Motivation is all.

It’s Stephen Miller, with the advice of Steve Bannon.

Never in all my born days have I seen a leader be so vain and so hell bent on plastering his name all over Washington, DC! I think it disgusting. Dwight Eisenhower got his name on places posthumously as has many of the other prior leaders. But the magnitude of what he's trying to do is so corrupt and it's obviously way too gaudy for the people of this nations and Washington, DC!

There’s a town in Pennsylvania, Centralia, that has been abandoned because of long inaccessible burning underground coal seams. That image reminds me of Trump’s effect on American culture. No longer viable but continually polluting and endangering to the point of destroying life as it has been known to exist for decades. We may put Trumpian politics behind us but we will pay a steep price for our indulgence of his ego beginning in the 1970’s.

I disagree that Trump is concerned with immortality. His psyche will not let him appreciate that someday he will not be here. He wants to SEE his face and name on everything because he's a malignant narcissist. Like the toddler who can't conceive that anything existed before him, so his parents could not have had a childhood, Trump cannot conceive of anything existing after he doesn't. And he couldn't care less about it. He doesn't want a legacy so much as self aggrandizement in the here and now, where he can reassure himself that he exists.

Let's call him what he is; Spurious Don! Pun intended.

The only places the trump name should be allowed is on toxic waste landfills and sewage treatment plants. I will pay extra not to fly into the Palm Beach airport...

Trump is afraid, and rightly so, that when he's gone ever sign of him will be erased. As such he's trying to build so many monuments to himself that he will take decades to erase them all. What else would be we expect from a paranoid malignant narcissist sliping ever deeper into dementia by the day surrounded by people who depend on him to continue to build their ill gotten wealth and stay out of prison. When he's gone every sign of him will be erased, it will take days, not years, and the line will already be miles long to piss on his grave...or the gates of Mierdalardo whichever is easier to find.
