- Donald Trump unveiled plans for his proposed presidential library in Miami, sharing a video depicting a towering waterfront skyscraper that closely resembles his existing commercial real estate projects.
- The design, credited to Bermello Ajamil & Partners, features a red, white and blue spire, illuminated 'Trump' lettering, and includes elements such as a presidential 747 jet display, a gold escalator, and a gold statue of Trump in a defiant pose.
- The library is planned for downtown Miami, next to the historic Freedom Tower, and may reportedly climb as high as 47 stories to mark his election as the 47th president.
- Critics have mocked the design for its apparent lack of books and grandiose gold statues, with California Governor Gavin Newsom comparing the statues to those found in authoritarian regimes.
- Congressional Democrats are probing the library's funding after media companies that settled lawsuits with Trump transferred at least $63 million into a library-related fund that dissolved last year, raising concerns about corruption.
