Former President Donald Trump has released the first public images of his planned presidential library in Miami, Florida. The video showcases a glass-enclosed tower with Trump's name prominently displayed and dramatic interior exhibits.

Why it matters

The construction of presidential libraries is a longstanding tradition in the United States, serving as repositories for a president's official records and providing a place for the public to learn about their administration. Trump's library will be the first such facility built for a president who was impeached twice and continues to make unsubstantiated claims about the 2020 election.

The details

The video shared by Trump depicts a sleek, modern glass tower with his name in large letters on the exterior. The interior appears to feature interactive exhibits and displays highlighting Trump's time in office. The library is planned for a site in Miami, Florida.

  • Trump posted the video showing the library's design on March 31, 2026.
  • Construction on the presidential library is expected to begin later this year.
