Erase his name, but not from the history books and the classroom. Future generations of the public, especially students need to know about him and how he destroyed, not only only the daily lives of Americans, but also the country’s reputation on the world stage.
Yeah, all good... remove the name from all and everything. But only after he is held accountable for his greed, stupidity and crimes. Then best if a cell in the old Alcatraz prison is recognised as where he spent the last half dozen years.
He will be remembered, all right, but in the same way as Hitler, Pinochet, Stalin, and others of that ilk are remembered. I just hope the USA never makes that mistake again.
We should never forget Trump and his people. As much as they should be sent to the dustbin of history, we need to remember what hell he's brought us since he came down the escalator in 2016.
The Roman practice you describe, the *damnatio memoriae* or condemnation of memory, follows in the footsteps of an older practice. The Egyptian version is referred to by Egyptologists as "erasure of the name" or sometimes linked to the concept of execration, or ritualized cursing. The reason for this is that the Egyptians believed the *ren* (name) needed to survive for the person to persist in the afterlife. Destroy all instances where someone's name is recorded and you destroy them in the afterlife.
The most famous example is Hatshepsut, whose name and image were systematically chiseled off monuments after her death, almost certainly on orders from Thutmose III. Akhenaten got the same treatment after his religious revolution was reversed.
The magacult & Guardians of Paedophiles party thinks Trump aka That Rascal USA Made President is a Colt 45 a true breed yankee MAGA but the world believes daddy paedophile felon piggy grifter as an AK-47 a Russian asset.🤷♂️🤦♀️ View frm outside😎
Trump may fall, but the power for which he has been an unwitting front man - the white Christian nationalist movement - will not. Its agenda was written into Project 2025, and the authors are still in their positions of power, its machinery still operating full bore. It is Nazism operating with the Bible as its shield and apologist.

I'm so ready for it!
Very well said… the ebb and flow of History.
What an excellent way of viewing Trump—he has no record of positive achievements—unless you’re a part of the 1%.
My guess is he’ll go down in history as the worst president in US history. Or he won’t even show up in the history books at all.

It can't happen soon enough!
Thank you for speaking this erasure, this truth, into existence. 🙏
Great perspective! Could not agree more! Thanks for this post. Judy & Donna
