When Biden moves to the White House, he should remove Trump's Presidential portrait from the wall. Completely unperson the guy, like he never existed.

That is only done for Presidents that are removed via the impeachment process. As a result, it has never actually happened. (While several presidents have been impeached in the House, the latter half of the process has never been successfully sustained in the Senate.)

  Surely we can make an exception when a President leads an insurrection against his own country…

    Why not impeach and remove him?

Yes like that picture of Stalin and Nikolai Yezhov!

  Or like tearing down Confederate statues. There's no need to commemorate hate.

    Yes, also we should remove references to people in history books.

    Denying where you've been ensures you repeat it. The alcoholic who cannot control himself when surrounded by alcohol is not truly cured of their alcoholism. The drink still controls them, because it directs them away from any cohabitance with alcohol. The same with our sordid past.

No, better yet: they should just place Obama's portrait in front of it.

Hard disagree. Permanent reminders of these failure need to be installed in very public places. The ideas and things that have resulted in the 37th of December (because 2020 didn't really stop) must be addressed. They are as a part of the US as the 3/5ths compromise on human life. Trying to power wash these stains away is not going to help the US. Meandering, uncomfortable, long, and difficult conversations are the best cure. There are no cheats to this, and there are no deferrals. Each US citizen is in this birthright.

That is what was happen with an official website of the President of Ukraine[0] when Zelenskyy came into the office after Poroshenko on May 2019: all data & photo archive, stored until May 2019, was fully removed from website by new admins. But that is another story... P.S. In 2018 I uploaded photo of the highest flagpole with the State Flag of Ukraine from presidential website to Wikimedia Commons archive[3] (as photo archive was under CreativeCommons). Since 2019 this photo was removed[4] from presidential website... Probably that is the only survived direct copy of this photo (except those which are available in Internet Archive's WaybackMachine snapshots of this site). ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ [0] https://president.gov.ua https://president.gov.ua [1] http://web.archive.org/web/20190520174801/https://www.president.gov.ua/en http://web.archive.org/web/20190520174801/https://www.presid...
