Trump has irritated a lot of people by putting his name on buildings. Behold, a solution
A Sure Sign of Clinical Narcissism
Trump’s desire to see his name everywhere is, as I understand it, a classic symptom of the most advanced form of narcissism. The man really does want to be a king. Putting his name on the Institute for Peace was a bad joke, at best. Forcing it on the Kennedy Center was obscene.
Fortunately, lawsuits have been filed that may resolve such nonsense sooner rather than later. If not, assuming the election of 2028 goes correctly, a new administration can resolve this is short order. Too late for the East Wing – not sure what someone could do with what will surely be a gaudy excess. At least the Rose Garden can be restored.
Let’s hope the rumored copy of the Arc de Triomphe dies in the idea stage; one could imagine what that would look like. And surely no one really believes we need a new Trump class warship category for the Navy. At least the cartoons on that one has been a fun (example: Name the first one the USS Bone Spurs).
But Could a Compromise Be Offered?
Yes, indeed. I think a solution is possible here. My thought is that the following solution should work even for Trump himself, since it could result in many, many structures with his name on them.
Washington is a city with constant construction, restoration, and large public events. What do all those things have in common? The need for public, temporary bathroom facilities. No doubt various government agencies have hundreds, perhaps thousands, of these things, and many contractors provide still more of them.
My recommendation is to go with the following design for all such structures. Please note the sign informing that even a gold plated option is offered, for those wishing for yet another opportunity to spend money on something Trump sells.
Behold, the Trump Dump.
Just imagine, using this fine new facility, walking up to it in your gold painted Trump tennis shoes, while making a call (or trying to get a call through….) on your Trump mobile phone, calling your broker to see if the Trump virtual currency you bought has shown any life yet. What a deal!
Best Wishes for the New Year
It promises not to be a quite or dull year, that seems certain. But it is at least possible that it will be an improvement on the political and social landscape of 2025. May it be so.

Perhaps the Roosters could raise the funds for one of these thrones and have it temporarily located at each of the eateries in 26

Hmmm, an inspired idea. I would rather expect it only takes Trump crypto, which is a fitting currency to be flushed down the drain . . . er, terlet.
Looking for wider uses, though, I can’t see Superman using it.
