". . .be stricken from every book and tablet,
stricken from all pylons and obelisks,
stricken from every monument in America.
Let the name of Trump be unheard and unspoken, erased from the memory of men and women for all time."

So let it be written. So let it be done.

But then it didn't happen so he made a tax deal with the state and slapped his name on it.

You can pass it on the Taconic Parkway which runs from New York City to Albany. It's decrepit and undeveloped. Just like Trump.

Here's a story from The Daily Beast that details the history:
