Plus eradicate his name from everything. Remove "Trump" from any building his family owns. Redact his names from donations and fundraisers, anonymize them. Basically remove him from history. Undo anything he did and make sure people cannot even know something was undone.

I want people to remember he was in the Epstein files.. so leave that aspect of his legacy intact.

leave his name on the public toilet that his grave will become at least

The US could pay off the national debt by charging admission to use that toilet!

Make his name synonymous with evil, just like Hitler. Make it so toxic no one names their kid Donald for a generation.

I'd keep “trump” (lower case, without any reference to where it came from) as a certain general use word, though.

By the way, I'm writing this in the toilet, while dropping a massive stinking trump.

I instigated a transatlantic Cockney rhyming slang version. In Cockney the rhyme is usually the word that's missing, so you just have to know what it means.

For example:

"Apples" -> apples and pears = stairs
"Sky" -> sky rocket = pocket
"North" -> north and south = mouth

Resulting in:

USA: "Taking a dump"
Dump -> Donald Trump (rhyme)
Britain: "Going for a shit"
Our family: "Going for a Donald"

I'm also writing this while going for a Donald.

British person here. In Britain a trump is an extremely smelly fart:

"Pfwoaaah that reeks! Who fackin trumped in ere?"
