17. Charge Trump and his "investors" for doing it and rebuilding the East Wing as it was.

Or gut it and convert it into a prison for Trump and his accomplices with extensive displays setting out their crimes as a warning to current and future generations. Finance it by selling tickets so the public can tour it and point and laugh at the inmates or whatever else they want to do.

It needn't cost much. The decor could be very plain prison grey floor to ceiling, levels of comfort and cuisine could be as spartan as human rights laws allow, and no need for an exercise yard as there'd be no lifts or escalators.

And staff it with Somalis.
