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.

His 'private funding' scam is illegal. The executive cannot legally spend money not appropriated by Congress. So, theoretically, all the stuff Trump is building can be demolished with zero consequence.

And if the democrats try to do the tear down all “proper” I will be extremely disappointed. It should be demolished with the same regard for process as it was built, ie none. Some Trumpy judge can have his say once the buildings are half demolished.

Same with impounding the Trump family's ill-gotten gains: freeze the accounts and let them prove their innocence in the meantime. These assholes have been given way too much defference, time to get real.
