Trump's Tomb

It's time to think ahead to Trump's tomb. This needs to be a magnificent structure, a mausoleum befitting his immense, incomprehensible greatness and a venue for reflection, remembrance, and evangelical prayer. He will have to have a presidential library -- a startling idea in itself for a person so unread and ignorant. It will make sense to combine with that. 

Immediately it's clear the location must be in the center of everything and be as obvious, unavoidable, and in-your-face as Trump so Bob Jones University and Patrick Henry College, backwaters springing to mind, should be ruled out. New York City is the only possible place, in a site as conspicuous as the Apple Store's, so I propose the site of the Apple Store.

That beautiful, transparent structure will be replaced with a windowless, granite monstrosity, perfectly symmetrical and impenetrable. All of the works will be below-grade, as with the Apple Store, suggesting the interiority (or nonexistence) of Trump's character and the nature of his administration, unconscious, arbitrary, authoritarian and compulsive.
