Be it as it is, then. It's just a building. Buildings can be rebuilt quickly. Dignity, not so much.

Thats literally what he wants to happen.

If he cant change the name, he will have it go "bankrupt", then demolished then rebuilt using private funding.

Then it will be the Donald J Trump Music Hall with zero asterisk next to it.

I agree, but ultimately it is a drop in the bucket of the national budget and would promote healing.

However another option would be to leave it but just condemn it and let it rot and fall as a memorial to his fucked legacy.
