Michelle Cottle's opinion piece criticizes Donald Trump's efforts to rename public landmarks like airports and train stations in his honor. The author argues this is an attempt to build a legacy through appropriation rather than creation, and is a form of 'presidential graffiti'. The article suggests that debranding efforts after Trump's time in office should be slow and steady.
