As an American, I'm ashamed that we're not ashamed.

His behavior has been crudely self-promotional all along, and even more so now. Presidents simply don't name things after themselves, because it seems insecure. It's the kind of thing third-world dictators do. If it had been a Democratic president, the same people who support this would be screaming non-stop about how disgusting it is.

I don't care that it's vulgar and crass. It's gross, but I just roll my eyes because it's symbolic.

But the fact that it's so widely supported by people who would despise it in anybody else, that is dangerous. We've done an awful lot of things as a nation that we absolutely should not have, and would not have if anybody gave it a moment's thought. But the only people to oppose it are the same people who oppose everything he does, leaving the people who support it to support everything he does. That is already getting people killed, and each new reminder of that lack of critical thinking seems one step closer to utter collapse.
