Congressman Will Introduce Legislation Banning Any Federal Property From Being Named After Trump

You may have already heard the news: Democrats don’t like Donald Trump.

Around five years ago, the eccentric New York billionaire/Hollywood chum/NBC powerhouse/mentor to black cultural influencer Russell Simmons/marrier of two immigrants/Democrat…split time in half — for himself.

Amid his moves, he became — per the TV — a failed businessman/anti-black racist/hater of immigrants/Nazi/rage-filled Republican.

In some circles, that didn’t bode well.

And one of those is the sphere of government occupied by folks across the aisle.

Hence, in addition to one impeachment (and maybe two), a national lawmaker’s trying to ensure The Donald never gets a monumental mention.

On Friday, Texas Democratic Rep. Joaquin Castro tweeted he’ll introduce legislation preventing any federal property from ever being named for the Donkey Party’s most hated wearer of red ties:

“In addition to supporting the impeachment and removal of Donald Trump, I am also preparing legislation that would prohibit any federal building or property from being named after President Donald J. Trump.”

The congressman left a clue as to his reasoning:

“President Trump incited an insurrection that damaged some our nation’s most significant and sacred federal property. Most importantly – let us learn from our past. Donald Trump should never become a future generation’s Confederate symbol.”

Donald Trump should never become a future generation’s confederate symbol. 2/2

The Confederate reference seems apt — not due to ideological underpinnings, but because it’s extremely easy to imagine a crew doing this to anything Trumpish:

Of course, a building would be harder to topple; but that’s not to say it wouldn’t be tried.

For all of his strong stance, some on Twitter thought Joaquin was being too kind:

Also, strip him of the following:

No Presidential pension, no Secret Service detail, no $$$ for Presidential library or $$$ for staff.

He deserves NONE of these Presidential privileges.

I always think that traitors during the Civil War shouldn’t have gotten off so easy, because their ideas still exist. The remedy for that this time is probably in part enacting swift and strong justice.

His body shouldn’t be allowed to lie in state at the U.S. Capitol when he dies, either.

Why hasn’t Trump been taken into custody. He organized an armed insurrection on our nation’s Capitol.
Trump committed blatant Treason against the U.S.

This is the time to challenge unlawful DOJ memo.
Our founding fathers would have imposed swift justice.

Strip him of his clothing and give him a nice orange suit size 58 chubby. 🥜🎱

NO LIBRARY, NO PAINTINGS, NO NOTHING.

This should include banning him from receiving any post-presidential benefits bestowed to him according to the Former Presidents Act (3 U.S.C. § 102).

No salary, no Secret Service protection, no funds for presidential library, and most importantly, no security briefings.

Include not hanging a picture, portrait, or anything similar in your efforts. He doesn’t deserve to share wall space with past presidents

I am not paying to SS for his and his “family’s” lifetime. Write THAT in. He can hire his own. Or hire Putin’s…

One tweeter used the opportunity for an unusual championing:

Your nuts

Regarding those on the ball for impeachment, The Daily Caller notes Assistant House Speaker Katherine Clark said a vote for/against could happen as “early as mid-next week.”

And, like a jock strap, there’s support:
