'Just stop it': Public sours on Trump's naming campaign - CNN




CNN chief data analyst Hary Enten looks at a poll showing a clear plurality of the American public being opposed to using President Donald Trump’s name on government buildings.

Rep. John Garamendi (D-CA) gives his reaction and CNN’s Dana Bash questions Interior secretary Doug Burgum on Trump’s branding at the Kennedy Center. Also, CNN Washington correspondent Sunlen Serfaty details House Democrats’ effort to block Trump’s arch project.

Although if 10% of Americans actually think the earth is flat it is concerning, although helps in explaining how we got to where we are as a nation

Is there an outhouse in some popular national park? A place where the most people would see it?

Toxic waste sites like superfund sites, brownfields and landfills. Maybe a toxic swamp somewhere in a nasty, shithole location.

He is associated with a shit smell dumping in his pants.

Imagine a line of orange outhouses festooned with the new improved moniker…TRUMP DUMPER.
Millions of people peeing and crapping on his name.

More beer and beans, please.

In response, somebody should take a deep dive into Trump's construction history. I don't think his properties are all that well constructed. They are certainly not well maintained according to reports by Spy Magazine. He also took credit for refurbishing the Wollman ice-skating rink in Central Park though he didn't really do it.

on everything. He's disgusting and triggering to so many people.

The only thing I might be okay with is the renaming of a federal prison (if it's a federal prison that he is sent to).

A new proclamation will be needed in the future

(with apologies to The Ten Commandments movie of 1956)

Let the name of Trump be stricken from every book and media,
stricken from all buildings, hotels, golf courses, road signs, and commercial merchandise,
stricken from every institution and monument of America and the world.

Let the name of Trump be unheard and unspoken, erased from the memory of men, women, and children for all time.

So let it be written.
So let it be done.

Nobody in this administration seems willing to answer any questions without sucking up to Orange Julius. Pathetic and demeaning.

I suppose it could mean he's on the interior of shitneck's posterior because everything he says sounds like -45's shit.
