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

One of these people, who was a top fundraiser on Trumps 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 youre living? this fundraiser said. I have no clue where they think theyll 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, everybodys running for the hills".

I am so sick of this Trump insanity and I cannot wait for it to go away. I honestly feel traumatized from the past four years and I cannot fucking take anymore of this bullshit.

Or something like this, with a giant Donald greeting visitors (and billboards every 25 miles)...
(I know, it's in South Carolina, but i'm talking concept, here.)
Attractions: The DonaldCoaster, the only ride that is open for all, but not QUITE finished (like his wall). The DonaldTower, the highest structure in Palm Beach county (but the elevator doesn't go all the way to the top floor). And, of course, the Hall of the Greatest President, which only has one audioanimatronic figure which is unique in that the speaker for the voice is located in its butt.
I think Ross Allen's Reptile Institute in Ocala might be available for development. it already had a reputation for snakes.
It's Florida, Donnie! Have somebody be creative for you! There are LOTS of places just waiting to be rechristened as the next Donald World! http://www.lostparks.com/

(1,789 posts)It only took $1 billion to build the new stadium for the Dallas Cowboys, including art galleries and mini-museums. It will be a slapped-together gift shop, (grift shop?) with little in the way of substance. Even throwing money at it, it can't possibly cost $2 billion.

(5,270 posts)Leave it to this shameless greedy family to quickly pivot to best take advantage after exhausting their half billion scam claiming election fraud and the pivot to 2024 campaign fundraising won't happen. They can try to restore their "brand" and invent a grandiose legacy while a couple of the Trumpkids keep their hands in politics.
