Removing the stench from the WH when Trump is gone

Once the orange creature departs the White House, how will they ever get rid of the stink of corruption left behind?

Will they have to fumigate it?

Will they have to tear it down and rebuild it?

Beats me.

But you've got to feel sorry for whoever moves in next.

The disease of the orange creature is on every surface of this once great monument.

to be performed in accordance with their own traditions by every religious (or non-religious) group or denomination. There will be evil spirits and bad vibes in that building for a long time otherwise.

Hell, bring in the exorcist, if you go in for that kind of thing.

and other evil spirit removal processes. Bring in the burning sage, the shamans, the priests, the holy water, Wiccan
purification rituals, horcrux removals, talismans, chants, prayers and spells. Do whatever can be done to get rid of whatever evil vibes might lurk in the corners.

EXPECTO PATRONUM!

If I was the new POTUS, first I would invite some native-American shamans to burn sweet sage in a ritual cleansing ceremony and purification ceremony.I would also invite the Dalai Lama to give a talk on his topic of Secular (Non-Religious) Ethics for the whole world. He's written extensively on this topic.

He will either not run in 2020, or be defeated soundly in the GOP primaries, or defeated soundly in the general.

Trump will resign after the GOP takes a beating in the midterms, to avoid impeachment.

for the Trump stench permeates all of us. It will be years before we can all breathe in air that does not stink like a Trump. I feel sorry for NYC. I am sure the odious crew will return to their former haunt.

Use the equivalent of funds from Donny's parade and the accumulated funds of his golfing weekends to Mar-a-Lago and Bedminster, as well as funds spent to finance his sons' hunting and business trips.

will need to be gone over several times with a fine tooth comb - and then some - to look for bugs and other surveillance devices. I mean, it should have been illegal for Trump to meet alone with the Russians in the Oval Office. Who knows what they left behind? They'd probably need to tear down walls and rebuild them from scratch.
