Unlikely. It will be a private golf course somewhere the public won’t be allowed.
The new US Ambassador to Australia is a former Republican congressman, the former Dean of Liberty University’s School of Business, and the current Vice Provost of that uber-conservative Christian institution. He has been described by Time magazine as a “Tea Party professor” and “Ayn Rand enthusiast” who argues for the merging of capitalism and Christianity.
Ohhhh, brother. I might be a hammer. But this realllly looks like a nail.
It’s going to take more than one blog post to unpack the full rot of Christian Nationalism in America and the depth of the contagion here on Australian shores, so let me take you on a whirlwind tour: David Brat, Liberty University, dispensationalism, and why capitalist Christianity is a major red flag for a theocratic nightmare.

Trump’s tomb will make the Taj Mahal look like a modest marker stone in a pauper’s charity cemetary. It’ll make the Lincoln Memorial look like a shoebox by comparison. I think there’s a very legit chance that some particularly skilled bootlicker will suggest making it larger than the Great Pyramid so it’ll be the biggest tomb on earth. It’ll be absolutely plated in gold-painted Copperart surplus tat so that the cringe will be visible from space, and every imaginable ridiculous AI-generated image of a buff muscular Trump in some manly (or Jesus-ly, in some cases…) pose will be sculpted into ridiculous 3d form, sprayed gold and installed all over the place like zits on a fat kid. There will be ACRES of them.
This WILL happen. Think of the political dynamics. When Trump kicks up his heels, there’s going to be a vicious contest to succeed him. He won’t anoint a successor, narcissists don’t care what happens after they die, if they can admit the possibility of their own deaths at all. There’ll be Vance, and Rubio, and his various kids and whichever vacuous Fox News personalities have talked their way into favour at the time, all of them vying to be next in line. And the only thing that matters in that contest is the adherence of the mob. Money will help, sure, but only to a degree. Money didn’t help Jeb Bush. The successor will be the one that wins the allegiance of Trump’s cultists, and to do that, he (or she…) will have to convincingly demonstrate worshipfulness of Trump equal to what his cultists show. So yeah, chucking money at the memorial, and suggesting ludicrous embellishments to it, will be a way of keeping score, a way to virtue signal to the cult that you’re one of them. The billionaires will be lining up down the street to fund the thing, and ambitious Republican politicians will be using every bit of their power to direct taxpayers’ money in its direction too. It’s going to be a race to see who can be the gaudiest and most extravagant, and I’m sure it’ll end up in the whole thing being donated to the govt as a tax write-off and the Federal budget having to foot the ludicrous maintenence bills on its shoddy plastering work for the next hundred years.
It’s going to be appalling.

Anyone curious about this should see my post a couple of weeks ago about the role of the Southern Baptist Convention, the largest subset of American Evangelical Christianity, and their role in formulating religous reasons to assuage pro-slavery in the 19th century, and further ultra-conservative views since then.

Unfortunately, because of the globalised economy, we can’t disconnect from them at all, let alone entirely. Not in the short to medium term , at least. But it should be a wake up call to our future foreign relations policy and frameworks. Should. But almost certainly won’t.

All of Trump’s cronies.
I propose this be located at Zorro ranch, which I’m led to believe already has a cemetery.
Normal stuff.
