I posted this in the Kennedy Center thread in P & E, but there are reports that Trump’s people are looking for other places to deface with his name, including Ford’s Theater. > **[Trump eying one of DC's most sacred sites for a self-promoting rebrand: MS NOW](https://www.rawstory.com/trump-dc-sacred-site/)** > > Administration officials have reportedly discussed adding President Donald Trump's name to the site of one the greatest tragedies and a major turning point in American history.MS NOW reported Wednesday that officials are circulating a list of... ---

MS NOW says > The president and top administration officials have also reportedly discussed putting his name on Penn Station in New York, Dulles International Airport in Virginia and the new Washington Commanders stadium. Surely those not named Donald John Trump recognize the ridiculousness and narcissism inherent in slapping his name on existing institutions and buildings while he’s still in office? The thing he fails to recognize is that if people respect you, they will put your name on institutions and buildings _on their own initiative_. ---

Yeah, but they’ll wait until you’re dead to do that. Trump wants the recognition _now_. ---

Everything with his name on it will be burnt to ash moments after the black bars come off of the Epstein files. ---

That’s the thing. That people name things after someone is dead is a sign that those naming the building or institution truly respect the person being named, because they’re doing so without expecting to receive something in return. By contrast, people are suggesting slapping the Trump name on things because they expect him to reward them for doing so. ---

He’s also dumb enough to either think he’ll live forever or that everybody will just forget to take his name off things after he’s gone. I’ve seen balls of dough sharper than that guy ---

But, he’s a very high IQ president, though too modest to let you know that. ---

Ok, so he knows he’s not black. I guess kudos to him for still having enough self-awareness to know that. I dunno what that has to do with how smart he is ---

He desperately wants to be remembered. Remember how he was genuinely confused as to why Washington didn’t name Mount Vernon after himself. I think he is self-aware enough to know that no one will name anything after him when he’s dead. ---

Hmmm…using the words “self-aware” in a sentence referring to trump… 🧐 I’m going to have to make a red pencil note in the margin of your Permanent Record Card. ---

Not to give him any credit, but he did say [exactly that](https://www.yahoo.com/news/politics/articles/trump-admits-putting-name-everything-185941307.html). Link is to Yahoo page. Apologies if it doesn’t work. ---

Yeah. He’s often said in effect “You gotta plaster your name everywhere or nobody will remember you.” Oddly enough, we all remember Hitler. Even those of us who were born after he died. Like Hitler, I think knowledge of all trump’s works will long outlast anything with his name painted on it. ---
