    Instead, we’ll ensure that we tear down the ones you tried to build and we’ll prosecute your friends and family for the countless crimes they’ve committed.

    I build one every morning after my coffee.

    Looks just like him.

    …smells like him too.

    Wow, he said something factual.

    Is this terminal lucidity? Is he actually dying soon?

    I for one am in favor of keeping his stupid ballroom. It just needs a little tweak. It can be “The Donald J Trump Museum of Corruption.”

      True, but Saxony just voted and showed that there are quite a few people who love the idea of the holocaust

    I met a traveller from an antique land

    Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone

    Stand in the desart. Near them, on the sand,

    Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,

    And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,

    Tell that its sculptor well those passions read

    Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,

    The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed:

    And on the pedestal these words appear:

    "My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:

    Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"

    Nothing beside remains. Round the decay

    Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare

    The lone and level sands stretch far away.

    - Percy Shelley, “Ozymandias”

      I might be stupid as f but what does this mean:

      " Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed: And on the pedestal these words appear:"

      “well those passions read”, wat?

      “the hand that mocked them and the heart that fed” wat ?

    Oh you poor soul, it’s not only that, they are likely going to tear down any monuments or rename them when you are gone as well.

    I see no route where regardless of party who gets in in 2028 is going to keep any of the names either, like “Lake America” and “Gulf of America”, it’s such an insult to the rest of the world anyone running would decide against it and without any real opposition against tearing down the existing monuments made, I don’t see any real blockers.

    I do think that they are likely right that the ballroom or whatever it ends up actually being will stay, but everything else? I firmly expect won’t be.
