It's his party and he'll cry if he wants to.

It would be a disgrace for him to lie in state.

I’m betting he would be just THRILLED to have an Aircraft Carreir named after him, but that is not going to happen.

There will never be a USS Trumpy for the same reason there will never be a USS Nixon.

There'll be plenty of maggots hanging around the corpse, though. To economize, how about using a garbage truck instead of a hearse?
