Trump’s dream of $2bn presidential library in turmoil as judge sides with woke professor who has a HUGE ax to grind

A dramatic bid to block Donald Trump's presidential library from being built in Miami is being masterminded by an 85-year-old retired professor who has repeatedly compared the Republican to Adolf Hitler.

Dr. Marvin Dunn, 85, who has claimed Trump's use of the state to target political enemies is 'no different' from the German dictator, launched the legal case that is threatening to upend ambitious plans for the commander in chief's legacy.

It makes Trump the latest president to face problems over his library, which is expected to house a massive archive of two terms of records and artifacts, including a plane used as Air Force One.

Barack Obama's $850 million planned center in Chicago has been hit by soaring costs and likened to the 'Death Star' from Star Wars. And Joe Biden is facing humiliation as some Democratic donors suggest his will never happen at all.

Last month, the state of Florida approved a plan to donate a site in downtown Miami for the Donald J. Trump Presidential Library. The 2.63-acre property next to the historic Freedom Tower is a developer's dream, one of the last undeveloped lots on an iconic stretch of palm tree-lined Biscayne Boulevard with waterfront views.

Trump has previously told donors that he hoped to raise $2billion for his library and museum, which would make it far and away the most expensive in history.

The site is currently used as an employee parking lot for the state-run Miami Dade College's Wolfson campus.

Gosh, Donald! Miami is such a pit. Find someplace else.

And this ol’ demoncRAT dismisses when the demoncRAT party persecuted President Trump. Is this ol’ expulsion of methane gas having memory problems? The demoncRAT party weaponized DOJ for their political purposes and the RINOs like Liz Cheney fell into line like good little sheep.

I misread the line as “85 year old retarded professor.”

Perhaps if we’re lucky the vicious bastard will kick off, of natural causes, before too long

Yet another whack-job of a “professor” with a lot of time on his well-retired hands, a big pension and a grudge against anyone who is a decent person and a patriot.

This pathetic elderly loser likely will be naturally be shown the final door soon.

I was just about to ask if other presidents faced thus challenge or if it was just Trump derangement syndrome. Looks like Obama and Biden are struggling too so it’s beauracracy in general.

These stories amount to so little. The only issue is whether there was public notice of a meeting of the college trustees. So if the court rules against the trustees they will hold another public meeting and do the same thing, and maybe the college will have to be paid for the land. This issue is not a big deal.

The judges again.

I refuse to accept that their actions are not part of an insurrection to overthrow the US and install a Communist government here.

Why Miami in the first place? There are plenty of beautiful places in Florida.

Bureaucrats cleared the way for the Kenyan’s project. I know people on Oahu who have been trying to get a permit for simple things like a fence in their back yard. Decades have passed and no permits.

Barry shows up, buys “The Robin’s Nest” and he was doing construction in a couple weeks. Unheard of on the shores anywhere on the islands. I’m sure the same thing happened to that Chicago monstrosity.

Not to worry...President Trump will figure it out. Maybe Miami was a ruse...

Looking at the current status of our colleges, probably.

"...Trump's use of the state to target political enemies..."

The new mantra. Total BS. THEY broke the law to target THEIR political enemy abusing THEIR positions of power and governmental authority.

Accountability is not 'targeting'; that's language of the guilty.

DJT wants justice. We want justice.

I demand it of blondi et al or they can fade away into obscurity as someone else replaces them & destroys their credibility with effective prosecution of the offenders.

Stating the obvious; not stated nearly enough even here.

I can just imagine what kind of psych department he ran with his limited language skill, etc. Time to do an audit of his publications, looking for fraud, plagiarism, etc.
