3. Trump Envisions $2 Billion Presidential Library

The concept of a library to celebrate this failure is amusing https://politicalwire.com/2021/01/16/trump-envisions-2-billion-presidential-library/

President Trump is telling his supporters and donors he wants to collect $2 billion for a presidential library and museum in Florida, the Washington Post reports.

7. Trump to flee Washington and seek rehabilitation in a MAGA oasis: Florida

Scavino used to trump's golf caddy. This makes a great deal of sense https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trump-florida/2021/01/16/be0b8ad4-5756-11eb-a817-e5e7f8a406d6_story.html

Speculation is also coursing through Trump World about a possible presidential library and museum. No announcements have been made, but two people familiar with internal discussions said it is likely to be located in Florida and run by Dan Scavino, one of Trump’s longest-serving and most loyal aides who advises him on social media and most recently served as deputy White House chief of staff.

One of these people, who was a top fundraiser on Trump’s campaign, said the president has told supporters he wants to raise $2 billion for the library — a far greater sum than has been raised for past presidential libraries — and thinks he can collect it in small-dollar donations from his grass-roots supporters.

“I thought to myself, what is this alternative fantasy life you’re living?” this fundraiser said. “I have no clue where they think they’ll get this money raised. Anyone who gives to him will be radioactive.”

Asked about raising money for the library, another former top Trump fundraiser wrote in a text message: “Insane.” This person noted that, “except for the wackos, everybody’s running for the hills".

...it'll probably be a yuuuuuuuuuuuuuge, ornate building, with solid-gold bookshelves, holding volumes purchased in bulk from "Books By The Yard" (the company that provides "set-dressing" for film and stage sets, with hardcovers whose spines look impressive from a distance, but are just random cutouts whose only purpose is to look good in the background).

16. Someone on this Twitter thread suggested that this very thread would suffice

Not just this tweet but the whole thread.

It’s genuinely, and hilariously/infuriatingly worth a read, if only as a reminder of what we escaped. Just three more days until this is all in the rear view mirror....
