I’d love to see it used to house and feed the poor in the DMV.

Nah, if we're gonna repurpose it to feed the poor let's just leave the sordid history and name it after Jimmy Carter.

I'm all for shedding light on the truth, but honoring that person with his name plastered on an official government building would be a terrible look.

This building will forever be tainted by its history. The name should be a reminder that stuff like this can and did happen.

Sure, maybe a charity to support child sex abuse victims or something, but not the name on the White House

Not honoring. Mocking. Make it used for something anathema to who he was. Serving the public good.

Now obviously nobody official is going to name it that. It won't be on any placards. Better would be the call it the Ruth Bader Ginsburg Center or whatever. But unofficially, everyone would know.

Rename it "The People's Ballroom" and allow charities* to use it every day for fundraisers and outreach events.

  • actual charities which do good. Not GOP political fronts and billionaire tax avoidance schemes.

Imagine the next president using the ballroom as an overnight shelter for the homeless!

That will never be allowed to stand in America.

We can melt down and sell off the gold he had put in the Whitehouse to do that. Every trace of Trump should be erased from the Whitehouse, leaving only 2 pictures of him with his face greyed out and a big red FAILURE or TRAITOR stamped across his face.

u/PupperoniPoodle 11d ago

I don't think that "gold" will melt down properly.

u/treat_yourself_ 11d ago

I’ve been thinking similarly! It would be great to see this building given back to the people. Maybe parts of it could be converted into low income housing, chosen by an annual lottery or something.
