They had to give up sitting on boards as part of their Trump Foundation settlement.

Not unless they want it vandalized every single day and night. He also couldn't afford to buy the land necessary. It'll be in Florida.

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.

Trump will make a huge monument to himself. It's what he likes doing best. It will be comically bad, tacky, and full of lies. Just like the Nixon Library.

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..

Source---https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2016/10/24/where-trump-wants-to-be-buried


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. “Wouldn’t 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 Bedminster’s 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 Sick’s Versailles-inspired boxwoods. More recently, the club has served as Trump’s 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.

...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 it’ll become a Nazi shrine.

Cause Orange is the new black. He will look great in it.

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.

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.
