Mr. President, pay for your own monuments

President Donald Trump has always understood that buildings outlast presidents. His name has gone up on towers, casinos, and golf clubs around the world. Now, in his second term, he is reshaping Washington itself — a grand ballroom where the East Wing of the White House once stood, a triumphal arch across the Potomac, a renovated Kennedy Center, and a championship golf course on public parkland at East Potomac.

There is a simple way for the president to make these projects truly his rather than the public’s tab. He should pay for them himself, with the fortune he has made from crypto while in office.
