In a city of respected art deco buildings, ridicule is being heaped on the latest structure proposed for Miami’s skyline: the Donald J Trump presidential library, unveiled in ambitious plans posted to social media on Monday night.

A 1 minute 40 second video tour of the proposed gargantuan structure revealed it will be decked, almost inevitably, in Trump’s trademark gold, including a giant statue of him, and will feature Air Force One, the $400m Boeing “flying palace” gifted to him by Qatar, in its cavernous lobby.

Its 50 storeys will tower above any structure surrounding it, including the adjacent Miami Freedom Tower, a symbol of US rejection of oppression and tyranny for more than 100 years.

“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,” Eric Trump, the president’s son and the co-chair of the non-profit foundation seeking donations to build the library, gushed on social media.

The release came on the same day that Florida’s Republican governor, Ron DeSantis, signed a law renaming Palm Beach international airport, near Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home, to the President Donald J Trump international airport.

Denazification is going to be fun!

Also, how can absolutely everything be "amazing" and the "best ever"? Those are terms for vacations by 7-year-olds upon returning home, not adults who are doing charitably terrible work.

I figured that was so self-evident that it would be insulting to include.
