anyone hired by trump must be fired

any law passed or order issued must be repealed

any treaty or agreement or contract must be broken

anything built by trump must be destroyed = i'd pay to blow up the arc d' trump or burn the ballroom to the ground

any business that supported him must be boycotted

any religion that praised him is no religion at all, and must be taxed.;

"trumpo delenda est".

I also tell them to dump Schumer and probably Jeffries.

In my opinion they are playing tactical without an integrated grand strategy.

They are good players to have on our team, but what we are lacking is a solid coach and owner (to overuse a poor sports metaphor)
