When the orange turd dies or otherwise is out of office, we should just remove his plaque entirely and pretend like he never even existed.
Damnatio Memoriae as the Romans called, the removal of a person not just from life but also memory. Though I say we keep his actions and consequences recorded, just remove his personhood and likeness. Every picture and video of him should just be mess of static and fucked but understandable audio. Things not related to his presidency should be destroyed in their entirety.
That sounds pretty difficult to do in the modern world.
In contrast, I like the idea that before he croaks he could know that his name will be cursed and his grave pissed upon for generations.
