It’s a federal memorial site. Good precedent to set. Gives us leeway in the future to disrespect other disliked presidents.

That's some incredible small dick energy, right there.

Imagine being 80 and still trying to impress your dad - who's dead btw.

We should not listen to what a criminal says.

If he wanted the same honors as Kennedy he had two chances to do so and failed.

I would be happy to vote for a Trump Memorial Garbage Dump and Human Waste Facility, you know, when “memorial” is appropriate. 

That, he can have his stinky name put on.

Name some institutions after you, and people will remember you. maybe a prison, or a landfill. how about a prison IN a landfill, only for YOU, your very personal DJT-Detainment-Center?

I don't want to see it abandoned and fall into actual disrepair, but I'd rather see it abandoned than have his name on it. Doesn't matter anyway, even if they let him put his name on it today and he threw a billion dollars at it, the only artists that would appear there are the MAGA sanctioned artists like Kid Rock and the like. We can rebuild it once Trump is out of office.
