Trump needs a library as a place to present his presidential history. No president in recent memory is more at risk of being distorted. He needs a place where his story can be presented. W has a nice library in DFW.

I’ll settle for Mt. Rushmore.

Word is that the stone isn’t good enough for any more faces on the mountain.

OTOH maybe President Trump can put up a steel structure supporting a gold-plated version of his face . . .

Trump needs a museum and library, and a tomb. Miralago would be good—with his residence as a house museum. BUT not for many years. It should be in New York but politics and corruption keeps that out—Its like Reagan’s library should have been in Santa Barbara but its in Simi Valley.
If he is assassinated—he should have a grave at Arlington. Only after his death, and the unmasking of Obama’s corruption will History Judge Trump fairly —Then his face will be carved on mountains.

Regarding Mount Rushmore, as I recall from visiting there many years ago, and have verified since, there is no viable rock face remaining on to which a fifth face can be carved, whether the 5th face be Trump, 0’bama, or any other president.

[Charles Martel]

Yes, the presidential libraries are all part of the National Archives and Records Administration.

[Verginius Rufus]

Scholars sometimes need to spend time at a Presidential library. They are now being scattered around the country (based on where a particular President lived). I think it would be better to have future Presidential libraries, if the custom continues, in either the Maryland or Virginia suburbs of DC, so that someone doing research there could also get to the National Archives during the same trip. For some topics a scholar might need to go to several Presidential libraries (for example, if working on a topic connected to the Vietnam War) so having them close together would save on traveling.

Don't trust the National Archives.
They tend to lose things.
Especially when Democrats are in office.
Remember Clinton's former National Security
Advisor stealing documents from the National Archives
annex in Maryland to help protect Bill & Hillary.
I don't remember the creeps name but I recall
what he looks like and the fact that he's now deceased.
Maybe someone can help me out with the name?

OOH!
Certainly like seeing that :-)

[M Kehoe]

Methinks the Donald doesn’t have to build a library. Why? For example he’s already built a 56 story tower in Manhattan that would do nicely.

Does 0bama have one yet?

You spelled Sandy’s last name incorrectly. It’s “Burgler.”

[wgmalabama]

Agreed. I do not like the entire President libraries. Of course, I haven’t liked a president since Regan.

[Gay State Conservative]

The Kennedy Library is a $1.10 train ride from me but I've never been. Maybe I will someday. I think I'd really like to see the Reagan Library but it would cost more than $1.10 for me to get there.

[Albion Wilde]

I think he should lodge it in Trump Tower, or buy the Old Post Office from the gubmit and put it there in his Trump International Hotel, which is leased from the gubmit.

Geee ya think?
