The Washington Post has published an op-ed arguing that President Donald Trump “must never have” a presidential library.
The paper, whose motto is “Democracy dies in darkness,” presented an argument Thursday by “art and architecture critic” Philip Kennicott about why the history of the Trump administration should, in fact, be shrouded in darkness.
Kennicott wrote: “Trump must never have an official presidential library, and Congress should move quickly to make sure he never will.”
He argued that Trump cannot be trusted to handle documents relating to his presidency, because he “mixed public and private interests.” He adds that Trump must be punished because he allegedly “incited an insurrection” on January 6.
Kennicott argued further that Trump might use a presidential library to tout his successes, which should not be allowed:
The danger of Trump using a presidential library to burnish his image is far more serious, with the ex-president and his surrogates still promoting the idea that his electoral loss was somehow fraudulent. That creates an ongoing uncertainty in American public life, which Trump and even more unscrupulous actors will use to further division, inflame tension, exacerbate racism and delegitimize the American democratic system.
Moreover, Kennicott argues, even if Trump were to build a presidential library, he does not have the skill (despite decades of success as a developer) to build one:

Congress really has no power to keep trump from building his own library but glad this guy lives in fantasyland
Hiding the truth, what more could we expect of them.
Kennicott argued further that Trump might use a presidential library to tout his successes, which should not be allowed:
Has there ever been a presidential library which didn’t tout the successes of that president, and downplay/diminish failures of that president??? What the heck???
Clinton has a library.
And he actually committed an impeachable act. (Perjury in a workplace sexual harassment case where he was the defendant.)
Trump’s only “crime” is that he put American interests ahead of globalism.
TRULY SICK HUMAN DEBRIS
Blatant biased bigotry begets blasts if they aren’t careful. One side winning everything all the time and bullying the losers can’t go on forever. Even the NY Yankee baseball dynasty finally ended.
They should consider the Trump Library a harmless place for people who already went to the Ryland, Dollywood and Graceland, got their overalls washed at the laundromat and packed up the car to head for the Trump place. If the Hampton cocktail party set doesn’t want to indulge then they can stay at the mansion.
You know what? Screw you, WaPo. Crawl back up Obama’s backside for the duration and don’t worry about Trump.
Good little nazi...erase history
These yahoos are every bit as pitiful as the Egyptians that wiped out each others history.
Yes, the leftist trash in this country continue to prove how insane they really are.
This regime is occupying the WhiteHut. That is what they wanted, so WHY are they STILL SO AFRAID OF TRUMP???
NO statues, no photographs, no nuthin. In fact the number 45 must be banned and replaced by a large black rectangle and all words beginning with the letters T-R-U must be removed from the dictionary.

The paper, whose GOAL is “Democracy dies in darkness,”
Fixed it.
Not only will there be a Trump Presidential Library, it will be the best of ALL presidential libraries because Trump is a world class builder.
Yeah?
I have a question. How’s that Obama Lie Barry working out?
Is it built yet?
To the leftist losers insist ‘Trump must be punished’ because they’re STILL angry he caused their monetary investment losses on hopes of a Hillary win. They want payback by destroying him.
The Left remains Scared __itless about President Trump, his MAGA agenda and the 75+ MILLION Americans that support him.
How about one million patriots evict the staff of the Washington Post and convert the building into a Presidetial Library for Donald Trump.
