"It’s basically Trump in architectural form: the deal-doing warrior and man with the Midas touch, presided over by his gleaming, gloating, engorged effigy." —The Guardian
Not a bad description of the edifice Trump will have built. However gaudy, and Trumpian the skyscraper may be, it’s not as hideous as the brutalist, Mecca like monstrosity Obama is building in Chicago.
It somewhat resembles a giant syringe which is quite appropriate because he is the self-described father of the covid vaccine. It was ultimately because of him that 81% of Americans were injected, for which oncologists, cardiologists and the rest of the world are truly grateful.
Mr. AwakeNotWoke---- before you blame the clusterfunk called Covid Vax onTrump, maybe you should think that Trump's mistake in all this is not exposing America to the clot shot but believing all of the Medical people associated with the U.S. Gov't actually had the best interests of the American people foremost in their mind and that these people, most of which he did not agree with politically, could/would put the interests of America ahead of any desire to do him harm or the American population harm. The CDC, AMA, WHO, and every other part of our medical establishment pushed and pushed to get the vax in every American even tho they knew that it was not ready for prime time. Trump was snookered big time because of this assumption. Looking back upon it now, I would bet a very decent amount of money that he would not have listened to them but would have listened to many others not associated directly with the gov't medical industrial complex. And......as Rick explains above he did expose the dirty truth about vax schedules to the average Joe and the fact that Big Pharma only has their profit interests in mind and Big P does not give a rip about the health of Americans.
Have to disagree-he didn’t issue one mandate, that was Biden. A lot of people had to be vaccinated under Biden to keep working or to visit their families in the hospital, kids forced to take it to attend school. Trump wanted it to be an alternative alongside hydroxychloroquine, which was quickly vilified the moment he uttered the word, and other treatments like ivermectin, also blacklisted under Biden.
04/05/26: Given its nationwide competition, it just might look better than it is currently envisioned. What doesn't make sense is locating millions and millions of people on land that is just barely above sea level, vulnerable to massive hurricanes that can destroy just about anything that they wish to obliterate. But there's no use in attempting to persuade them to do otherwise.
"The final joke is that it’s being financed with the awards from the various lawsuits Mr. T has won against the old legacy media giants who defamed him over years."
Here in Florida we have a state victim's compensation fund. It helps people who are victims of crime - pays for things like medical bills, lodging, etc.. The beauty of it is, it is 100% funded by fines on criminals.
The wonder of the World Lighthouse in Alexandria was also very tall..nobody lived in it, it was a beacon..probably didn't meed to be that tall for a lighthouse, but..it was y'all to be remarkable and to stand out. For everyone to see or comment on, over millennia.
The actual Truths, the Library of documents, that we associate even today with that Lighthouse of Alexandria, perished in a fire. They say. Imo DJT has a Real library of truths associated with this Tower, In a place that won t catch fire.
That it is (too bad that his audience members --- "cool New Yorkers" --- were robo-programmed --- afraid to laugh without permission) That poor sax player! How long did it take to get that gold paint off?!
What is with putting Air Force One in a Presidential Library? Reagan did it. Then Bush 41 did it in his library in College Station- but that was not enough: he had to hang his WWII torpedo bomber from the ceiling, too, like some giant model airplane. But if that were not kid-like enough, on the other side of the room is his Yale Bulldogs baseball locker room, complete with a picture of Babe Ruth handing the young player an award.. Library?! Not a book in sight. I did manage to salvage one thing from the trek out there- I told friends that over the entry, carved in stone, it says, READ MY LIPS.(the best part was a few believed it.)
A ‘Man for the times”; 30/50 years or so back in those olden days, could one have imagined an individual that could overturn the tables at The Political Temple, even a Reagan, gifted as he was, became confounded. Trump is a laugh at every turn; however, one laughs at their own expense, he appears to operate at a higher/lower level than could have been imagined - it works! I see a counterintuitive streak at work, we are all broke, so spend whatever you have to, too - "it don’t matter a hill of beans”. None of us gets out of this mess alive, accept it and get on with your life.

I wonder what ‘review’ the Guardian gave Obama’s ‘library’.
I kind of like it. Probably has to have a hotel in it to make any sense financially.
Put it in Nevada- he could add a brothel.

Well and he exposed that all vaccines are dangerous? Maybe you should think about that! Plus he's not responsible for peoples stupid choices....

Neither is a fentanyl dealer.

Get's a thumbs up from this observer...seen much worse (Obama library for one).
I mean, it's a skyscraper built by and for a guy that "made a living" from building...skyscrapers...and against all odds, won the presidency 3 times.
Agree - l like and love what is represents to me - a middle finger to all the doubters. Lmao

Don't forget the possibility that the Donald is trolling you and everyone else with this "proposed structure."
At any rate, it's light years ahead of the soetoro obscenity. I presume you mocked that one somewhere along the line...
BINGO!!!
The Hussein obscenity-put stripes on it and it looks tight at home on Epstein island.
President Trump, trolling his enemies even further into insanity every day.
I love hearing their screeches.
I think the 47 story middle finger is perhaps, the greatest we’ve ever seen.
Nice to hear from JHK on a Sunday, especially a gift on this Easter Sunday.
Anyone else want to bet that he will eventually be entombed in gold in the lobby, like King Tut?
That’s a possibility.
04/05/26: Steve Martin, for a cool mil, will volunteer:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FYbavuReVF4
I saw this live at the Duluth Arena in 1971. Still fall-down funny.
We sat on the floor around Martin for his show at the University of Montana in the late 1970s. I paid $5. It was his arrow-in-the-head phase.
That it is (too bad that his audience members --- "cool New Yorkers" --- were robo-programmed --- afraid to laugh without permission) That poor sax player! How long did it take to get that gold paint off?!
Can't say I find the proposed library appealing to my sensibilities, but if it gives those douchnozzles at The Grauniad the vapors, I'm all in.
And the bet part is the haters in the legacy media are paying for it! Brilliant Mr. Trump.

It's one of a kind...just like him. I was taken back a bit at the gold statue, but .... He's my weapon of mass destruction so I say, "GO!"
Those with TDS will forget about this day one, once we propose that his likeness be installed on Mt. Rushmore !! Hey- Not a bad idea !!
Let’s go !
It's going to be a crackpot magnet. They should put a diving board on the 45th floor to accommodate them.
