The first renderings of Trump's Presidential Library reveal a structure unlike any Presidential library in history...

The plans call for a soaring billion dollar skyscraper bearing Trump's name piercing the Miami sky. An American flag would be positioned halfway up the building. The structure would enclose an auditorium with a statue of the Fuhrer (ahem, Trump), fist raised defiantly in the air, as well as an entire Air Force One. No explanation has been provided as to which Middle East emir would be pay for the plane.

always having to have his name plastered on everything and building monuments to himself. It gets so tiresome.

It looks like a cheap rip-off of 1 WTC, which makes it even more gross and disgusting.

Oh and, hurricane country.

It's being planned, people are on retainer for design, but the minute a particular heartbeat stops, plans will be cancelled and it will never be built.

But Miami has a huge skyline full of tall towers so that part isn’t unrealistic.

Oh, he'll probably bully his way into starting if he can - but it is yet another ill-advised, self-aggrandizing vanity project, the kind he increasingly perseverates upon. He's obsessed with celebrating himself and his imagined greatness.

Excuse me now, while I

more are being built. Although if we go into a sustained recession the building will stop, just like it did in 2008.
