That Trump, a former developer, has managed to choose a building almost as ugly as Obama's is surprising.

I like the Jimmy Carter library the best.

As do I. I also like FDR's library, even though it's not shown in the video.

Obama and Trump, wasn't there someone else?

Not much news so far about Biden Library --

Thirteen months after Biden left office, a Biden presidential library is a virtual concept with little to show other than a National Archives website. No locale has been chosen, nor any ground broken (reportedly, it will be somewhere in Biden’s home state of Delaware—his aides envisioning an “immersive museum” and “a hub for leadership, service, and civic engagement”).

A storage unit in Newark would be appropriate for the Biden presidential library.

He has a VP center at Penn so not sure how they will merge them. Also he has a site at NARA. https://www.bidenlibrary.gov/

Now that's a library with potential. Imagine if Hunter's laptop was in it.

I suppose my taste and sense of architectural style run in a different direction than these two monstrosities.

The GWBush library is near the SMU campus and is probably the last one that will be a library as we think about libraries. BO's has basketball courts so is more a community center as his documents are digitized. That was a big deal when he announced the Center would be separate from the library. No word on how DJT will manage documents.
