TJ Walker compares Trump's bill signatures to how Saddam Hussein, Nicolae Ceaușescu, and Joseph Stalin stamped their images onto national institutions. He notes the enormous cost of removing those symbols afterward, drawing a parallel to current political debates.

Saddam Hussein put his face and name on Iraqi currency and everywhere else. Nicolae Ceaușescu plastered his image and identity across national symbols. Joseph Stalin made sure his presence was stamped on everything from posters to buildings to the cultural fabric of the country. And then, the interesting happened. They died or they were removed and suddenly governments had to suspend or had to spend years, sometimes decades, scraping off their names, their faces, their symbols from everything. Statues torn down, currency redesigned, buildings renamed, history rewritten. Because when you attach one person's ego to national institutions, you create a cleanup problem for the next generation. It's like graffiti but with a federal budget. Ultimize.
