A Thursday afternoon event billed as an announcement about a new investment in U.S. coal plants began with Trump immediately launching into a spiel for the assembled White House press about his efforts to overhaul the Lincoln Memorial, complete with a video showing water flowing into the newly repainted Reflection Pool. The president then shifted to his future plans: An idea for a “promenade” to extend down the other side of the building to the Potomac River.

“We’re doing something that just came up, we have a little breaking news here,” Trump teased. “We’re going to be doing that, it’s a promenade. They want to call it the Trump promenade.”

And by "they" you mean you want to call it the Trump promenade.

If sanity ever returns to US politics I hope we take his name off EVERYTHING!

The rest of the world won't take his name off of all of you Americans for a long time. He has ruined your reputation outside of your bubble, and it will take a lot to rid you of his stink.

Thanks. I appreciate that. That's a step in the right direction.

I hope his name is excised from history.
