Hate to think about it.

Is trump playing Rameses II? Is that how Rameses parlayed his plastered, hyerogliphic, control over the money?
Trump needs a legacy. The good? The bad? It'll all be gone by morning.
Unless he plasters his name.
Will our descendents revel in his name/legacy?

Ozymandias
By Percy Bysshe Shelley

I met a traveller from an antique land,
Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
And on the pedestal, these words appear:
My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;
Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!"
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.

name on the dollar bill.
Legacy ain't going to get you to heaven, but you last a while with your stamp.
