Trump plans “landmark” with a golden statue of himself

You can see golden escalators and a golden statue of the president with a raised fist. A red, white and blue lace towers on the roof, and “Trump” is said to be written in capital letters on the facade. Inside there is a display of military aircraft, including the Air Force One plane that the Trump administration received as a gift from the Qatari government last year.

Trump’s son Eric also published the video, which appears to have been created using artificial intelligence. He described the project on X as a “landmark.” Donations are being collected for the construction; Supporters can contribute via an official website. Since President Herbert Hoover (1929-1933), a so-called presidential library has been set up in each US head of state’s home state. State gifts, among other things, are stored in the privately financed institutions.

Controversial location

The library is to be built in downtown Miami – near the Freedom Tower, a symbolic location for many Cuban immigrants. According to media reports, the value of the property is estimated at around $67 million. According to media reports, there is criticism that the project could dominate the environment.

While Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and other Republicans point to impulses for tourism and culture, according to a survey, 74 percent of respondents opposed the use of the property for the library, including the newspaper Miami Herald reported. The library is part of a series of projects Trump is using to enshrine his name in public spaces – from buildings and airports to dollar bills. He also announced the construction of a triumphal arch in the US capital Washington.
