Trump says he ‘doesn’t believe in libraries’ two days after unveiling presidential library plans

President Donald Trump said on Tuesday (31 March) that he “doesn’t believe in libraries or museums” two days after announcing plans to build a skyscraper for his presidential library. Taking questions in the Oval Office, Trump said, “ It's a library. It's a museum.” “It's a presidential… but I wouldn't start it till I'm out of the office. I don't believe in building libraries or museums.” On Monday, Trump shared a video on his Truth Social, with an AI-generated video of his plans of building the “Donald Trump Presidential Library” with a gold statue and gold staircase. Initially announced as a library, Trump now said “ you know, this concept could be office, but it's most likely gonna be a hotel with it."
