Trump
Miami is the preferred home of President Donald Trumpâs new presidential library, but Miami reporters canât seem to stop laughing at how predictably gaudy the thing turned out to be in designs.
Five years ago, after voters tossed Trump from the White House, Trump was facing a second impeachment over the January 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol. Twitter â before it was bought by billionaire Trump ally Elon Musk â had banned him from the platform because of his threat to U.S. democracy.
Trump was in the woods, and this was around the time Miami New Times editors got their heads together and made predictions about what the Trump library would look like. They called it on several fronts.
âWe may have missed with the tanning salon and toupee shop, but some of New Timesâ predictions were not too far off: yuge (check). Packed with gold accents (check). Unusual artifacts (check). Money-making scheme (check),â wrote Naomi Feinstein. âIt has been a stunning political turnaround for Trump, who is back in the White House and turning it into his own gilded, gaudy paradise.â
1. âYugeâ:
âItâs gonna be yuge. Itâs gonna be classy. Like the piece of chocolate cake Trump ate while approving a missile strike on Syria. Itâs gonna be the most beautiful presidential library youâve ever seen.â
âWhile it may depend on how you define âbeautifulâ and âclassy,â the library is certainly yuge,â reports Feinstein. âThe renderings show the skyscraper towering above the Miami skyline bearing the Trump name lixke his other Trump-branded properties. The tower, which is expected to be 50 floors tall, will also need to be large enough to house a luxury $400 million Boeing 747-8 jetliner gifted to Trump by the Qatari government.
2. Gold Everywhere:
âYou take a look around. The floor is carpeted in red. The walls are trimmed with gold.â
âIt wouldnât be Trumpâs presidential library if it were not filled with gold accents,â said Feinstein, and indeed, an AI-generated video shows a library choked with gold accents, including a large gold doorway with a presidential seal, gold escalators, gold-trimmed walls, a gilded ballroom, and an oversized gold statue of Trump raising his fist.
âNew Times thought a giant screen of Trump welcoming visitors to the library was sufficient for the commander and chief. Unfortunately, he needs a gold statue instead,â reports Feinstein.
3. Money-Making Scheme:
