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:

Yawn - one liberal nutcase helps sell papers is not the same thing as a law passed.
The guy’s a hater... ignore his crap.
That’s because President Trump has kicked every other President’s a$$ when it comes to fullfilling His Promises to America and the American People.
They don’t want the FACTS TO COME OUT!!!
I thought they were National Archives projects - does the President have that much to do with them?
They will think of anything to keep him out of the history books. They are jealous and afraid of him. He has exposed their hypocrisy and called them out on it. He has exposed their crimes and threatened to put them in jail.
He has shown the American people that we can have a dynamic, prosperous country with a strong economy and we can not only survive but thrive.
The Leftist media, the democRATS, the RINOs and the Never-Trump, anti-American globalist Left will do any and everything they can to obliterate him from their world. Because they have other plans for the country.
They are trying with sheer desperation in their faces to convict him of something in the Senate so they can try and prevent him from running again. Becasue they know if he gets into power again, their collective gooses are cooked. He's coming for them. And they know it.
This has all gone way too far.
They got a good start on that by banning the TRUth.
:(
The Washingpost Ton, the final arbiter of all things political, says Trump should not be allowed a presidential library. They have also mandated that he must be restricted to an outdoor privy, no in-door plumbing. With no library and an outdoor privy we trust he will find a use for his presidential papers.
Amazing that some people consider the wapost a real newspaper.
Trumps library of truths

Buahahahahahahaha!.
The greatest [resident we have had in over 100 years and they do not want him to have a library?
I’d like to see them try and stop him.
Obama’s library seems to have vanished.
Wonder where the money went.
Obama Library looks odd to me. I think it would had been a better fit if they had built it as a student center with library attached to it and maybe build it somewhere like Occidental College in California, that's where he went to school before he transferred to Columbia University for his BA degree.
I wish you would make this a vanity post. It’s really that good that it should be shared!!!
