(4,448 posts)First off he won't be buying it with his money.
Second, it'll be built with millions and millions of donation money.
Third, construction will be subcontracted to one of his companies.
Do the math.

(16,672 posts)We went out a few years ago and I was surprised at the content really. It is run by the National Archives and I am not sure if it always has been. There was plenty of info on watergate etc..
I've been twice. The gift shop is filled with RW garbage, though.

snip--Although five of his relatives are interred in the Lutheran All Faiths Cemetery, in Middle Village, Queens, Trump has been making plans to spend eternity behind the first tee of one of the courses at the Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey. Wouldnt you want to be buried here? he told the Wall Street Journal, in 2015."
snip--"Trump ended up liking the golf club so much that, in 2007, he filed plans with Somerset County to build a family mausoleum there, decorated with nineteen-foot-tall stone obelisks. Local authorities were skeptical, and Bedminsters mayor, Robert Holtaway, argued before the city council that a Trump grave could attract the wrong sort of people, comparing it to a place in Austria where a Nazi war criminal was buried that became a tourist attraction.
snip--"In 2009, as the mausoleum debate raged, Ivanka Trump married Jared Kushner at the Bedminster club, surrounded by Sicks Versailles-inspired boxwoods. More recently, the club has served as Trumps debate-prep war room, where Kushner, Rudy Giuliani, Roger Ailes, and Kellyanne Conway coached him to take on Clinton. Last summer, with the permits finally secured, Trump broke ground on the tomb. When the work began, Fox News reported on the development with a headline that would be hard for any editor to resist: Trump Is Digging His Own Grave. ?
Well, sorry about that NJ.

(50,528 posts)...he will probably try tearing out Wollman Rink, the one thing Trump has done that worked, and building his library on that land.
The worrisome part of a Trump library (which will almost certainly be built in the South somewhere, because New York is too liberal for his tastes) is that itll become a Nazi shrine.

But seriously do traitors and criminals get libraries???
Looked up that Nixon had a library and just figured the would try and whitewash the heck out Trump as well.

(9,661 posts)That his library will be located in or around El Paso, Texas. The plans are only in the blueprint stage but the location has been established inside The Wall. Security problems are now being addressed as the rear exit closest to Mexico was deemed the orange of the problem.
