Florida Hands Over Prime Miami Property for Trump Library - The New York Times

Gov. Ron DeSantis and other top elected Republican state officials donated a prime state-owned property in downtown Miami on Tuesday to the nonprofit raising money for President Trump’s presidential library.

Some estimates say that the property, facing Biscayne Bay, is worth hundreds of millions of dollars. It belonged to Miami Dade College until last week, when the college’s trustees voted without any discussion to convey it to the state.

Mr. DeSantis and the Florida Cabinet — the state attorney general, agriculture commissioner and chief financial officer — unanimously approved the conveyance of the property to the nonprofit when they met on Tuesday in Tallahassee, in their capacity as the trustees of a fund that controls state lands. Their discussion before the vote lasted less than three minutes. Minutes later, the president’s son Eric posted on social media that the library would be built in Miami, and thanked Mr. DeSantis and James Uthmeier, the attorney general, for their help in securing the site.

“Consistent with our families DNA, this will be one of the most beautiful buildings ever built, an icon on the Miami skyline,” Eric Trump wrote.

Let the library fit the man child.

He’s been underwater for his whole life and now he’s dragging us under.

7. Maybe our first underwater library.

Trump likes firsts.

3. The idea of kraznov having a library is ridiculous

I highly doubt he can read. Obviously, most magas can't or won't.

5. Eric, "consistent with (your) family's DNA", I would expect

it to collapse into the bay, but not without first setting a new standard for gaudy and tacky.

6. f45 said the Saudi plane he received would be in his library. Is this property big enough to

hold his plane?

9. I'm sure he'll check and make sure it is the biggest presidential library of all time...nt
