Social media slams Donald Trump as he shares AI-generated images of Presidential Library skyscraper

Donald Trump has unveiled plans for his Presidential Library in the form of an AI-generated Miami skyscraper.

He shared images of the Donald J Trump Presidential Library on Truth Social – a branded building which also features a ballroom, an Air Force One aircraft, gold escalators, and a huge gold statue of Trump in the pose of his 2024 assassination attempt.

“Over the past six months, I have poured my heart and soul into this project with my incredible team at [The Trump Organization],” the president’s son Eric Trump wrote on X. “This landmark on the water in Miami, Florida will stand as a lasting testament to an amazing man, an amazing developer, and the greatest President our Nation has ever known.”

It didn’t take long for people to rip into the project and notice one glaring omission: Books.

Indeed, no books can be seen in the library... An oversight which speaks volumes about Trump and the limitations of AI.

"It's just a monument to himself", one person wrote online, while another commented: “How ironic a library for a guy that can't read.”

“The gold statue in Trump’s new library (of himself) looks awfully familiar to a few others from around the world,” California Governor Gavin Newsom and regular Trump critic wrote on X, referencing China and North Korea.

Further criticism was swift, with many slamming the fact that the Trump family – who are supposed to be worth billions – are crowdfunding the project...

Check out some of the reactions below, which reference the absence of books, the poor timing of such an announcement, and the Epstein files:

In case you were wondering about the location of the library, Trump legally declared himself a Florida resident in 2019. The native New Yorker changed his permanent residence to his Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach, Florida.
