He needs to pay the price of the loss of heritage and tradition in the East Wing and needs to provide a full accounting of the disposition of all of the art and artifacts which may have been present or on display there in the East Wing: in my estimation the valuation of that loss for a country that has a GDP measured in the tens of trillions of dollars ($29.18 trillion in 2024) would be on the order of tens of billions of dollars. The US could happily accept ownership of Mara-a-Lago for removal and redevelopment as a memorial to the historical victims of slavery and lynchings. Beyond that, Trump Tower, his golf courses, and other real estate holdings should be taken for redevelopment and as recompense for the destruction of the East Wing.
