  No 51, that's not true.  Governments do whatever they want in between
elections.
 Here in Virginia which is the cradle of America, the local governments
removed any vestige of the Confederacy by renaming any street or
school, and removing statues and plaques within their borders.  Of
course this is at great cost to any business or resident which which
must reprint all their stationery and redo anything which had their
address on it.  Do you think those locals wanted the name changes?  As
for Mount McKinley, it was named that since 1917 until 2015 when Obama
renamed it.  Do you think there are any people alive other than some
indigenous people who were calling it Denali before that?
 Then you have the University of Virginia which was founded by Thomas
Jefferson who was one of our greatest presidents.  There was a movement
by the administration and staff to remove any likeness of him from the
school grounds, websites, books, etc. because he was a slave owner and
fathered children from slaves.
 The radicalization in one direction by the previous presidential
administration has caused the pendulum to now swing farther in the
opposite direction.
 

You get that he's doing things like this to distract you from the fact that most of what he promised to get elected is never happening, right?
