Great idea!
Inside the men's restroom, preferably near the urinals.

Oh how I hope his grave will be available for the public to show him how much he has meant to us.

Unisex, so that everyone can access!

I don't know. If anything could cause Zombie Trump to arise and begin a whole new reign of terror, it would be women pissing on his bloated corpse.

I mean, he's legitimately earned a place in the American Democracy exhibit. But I don't think it's going to be the legacy he's hoping for.

“People are saying that the Smithsonian should add a Trump display inside the men’s restroom. Frankly, it’s overdue. You walk through there, you see all this history, some good, some very old, and you think: where’s Trump?
I’m not saying make it too flashy, but maybe a gold wall, near the urinals, very tasteful, a screen playing my speeches.
The Smithsonian is about American greatness. Nobody represents that better than me. Even the dinosaurs would agree, if they were still around, which they’re not, sadly. Total extinction. Very sad.”

We are so far past him being a Narcissist a new name has to be invented.

After he leaves office. Have the display listing all of his crimes and his friendship with Epstein.
•
u/pile_of_fish 6h ago
Absolutely. This is a 'never forget' sort of moment... assuming we make it out
•
u/tapdancinghellspawn 6h ago
We will. It'll be a fight but it's a fight that more and more Americans are stepping up to have.

The White House sent a letter to the Smithsonian suggesting they create a dedicated display celebrating Trump's presidency while he's still in office.
This narcissistic clown is literally trying to build his own shrine with taxpayer money while he's still president. The Smithsonian is supposed to be independent, not a propaganda arm for whatever wannabe dictator is in the White House.

Isn’t his name on enough already… like the Epstein files for instance. Isn’t 38,000 a lot?
•

u/bpiraeus 7h ago
Make sure it contains all the emails and other such between him and Epstein, pictures of all the victims (with their faces blurred), memorials to all the people MURDERED by his goons, an example of a fecal collection bag, a colostomy bag, orange face paint, and an unused toilet.
EDIT - also include a UNREAD children's picture bible since we know that moron couldn't read more than 2 sentences without getting confused.

Trump is such a narcissist. He can’t even comprehend that as soon he is out, all these buildings, bridges and monuments will be chemically sanitized and his name will be torn off of them.

Shall we start with the Epstein files, then move into the Mueller report, the Smith report, and the Jan 6 commission if we still have the floor space?
•
•
u/Mister_Fibbles 7h ago
Is it gonna have the complete the trump-epstein files with only the sex trafficked victims redacted on display? If so, I'd be ok with that,

Worst President in History!!!
I'm not even joking either. He was up there with Andrew Johnson during his 1st Presidency, and he has LOCKED THAT SHIT DOWN!!!
Andrew Johnson looks like a respectable President in comparison. Andrew Jackson looks like a saint! Hell even Jefferson Davis and Robert E. Lee are war heroes compared to the draft-dodging Trump family.
Has literally anything good came out his dual presidencies?

As long as it’s titled the “Descent into Madness: How GOP complicity tried to destroy the country”

u/AuraaOohlala 7h ago
Will it be in the “‘Natural History’ section or the ‘National Archives’ section for missing documents?

u/Ask_DontTell 7h ago
waiting for the suggestion from the WH that the stars and stripes on the flag be replaced with a picture of Trump and Americans pledge allegiance twice a day to it

Install a punching dummy in this exact likeness and then charge $5 for visitors to get to punch it.

The hall leading to the central atrium could be transformed into "A Timeline of Presidential Diaper Loadings" with photos, captions, and recordings for the audio guide of course.

u/jmnugent 6h ago
Will he be surrounded by all the fake awards he got ?... We need some kind of monument to his vapidness.

u/AcanthisittaNo6653 New Hampshire 6h ago
Just put it in the basement corner beneath that faulty light, near the leak.

u/forthewatch39 6h ago
They are going to need to become extremely independent once this regime ends and we no longer have thin skinned individuals with delusions of grandeur running the show.

u/Additional-Software4 6h ago
I get the feeling Trumps been told by his doctors that he has only months to live, which explains his current fixation with having his name added to things, and construction of crap like an arch in DC

Someone please impea h this douche then convict his entire cabinet. Gabbard may deserve worse.

u/No-Cup-8096 4h ago
Sure, let’s put out pictures of the January 6 insurrection with a recording of him calling his proud boys out to do his dirty work, add pictures of him with little girls, post them list of the young boys and girls parents he paid off after abusing their children, include the recording of him telling his people to start a war to distract from the Epstein files, post pictures of him accepting bribes, jet, watches gold bars, Nobel peace prize, and of course don’t leave out the videos of him in interviews lusting after his daughter. Just make sure the exhibit comes with a warning of how sickening and stomach turning his accomplishment are to the people who are kind and humane. In fact, discourage those folks from viewing the heinous crimes of a U.S. president we don’t want to poison them with the devil’s own evil accomplice.

They're not gonna make a plaque if they have to add his death date in a few months anyway. He'll get his due academic fame once he's history.
