‘Tacky’, ‘tawdry’ and a project of self-aggrandisement: Will anyone want Trump’s presidential...

Have you seen Donald Trump’s library? It is really quite something.

The marble-floored foyer is overlooked by a large poster of his famous book The Art of the Steal. Upstairs is a room dedicated to the president’s false and controversial tweets, such as “Mexico will pay for the wall!”

Elsewhere, there is a memorial garden to the hundreds of thousands of Americans who died from Covid-19 on the 45th president’s watch. There is also a “grift shop” that sells pardons, and even a hotel containing rooms that look suspiciously like the one at the Ritz-Carlton in Moscow where Trump was accused – falsely – of hiring two prostitutes to urinate on a bed in the presidential suite once slept in by Barack Obama and his first lady, Michelle.

This library, as you may have guessed, is satire, an online rendering of a fantasy building designed by a New York-based architect who produced it as a means of highlighting many of what they perceived to be the president’s failings.
