President Donald Trump has unveiled renderings for a massive skyscraper in Miami that would house his presidential library and museum. The downtown tower, featuring the 'Trump' name in large block letters, would rise over Biscayne Bay on property transferred from Miami Dade College. Trump's son Eric said the landmark 'will stand as a lasting testament to an amazing man, an amazing developer, and the greatest President our Nation has ever known.'

Why it matters

The planned presidential library and museum represents an effort by the former president to cement his legacy, even as he continues his second term in office. The project's grand scale and prominent waterfront location in Miami reflect Trump's penchant for large, flashy real estate developments. However, the library's funding sources, including settlements from lawsuits against media companies, have raised concerns about potential conflicts of interest.

The details

The renderings show a large atrium with U.S. military aircraft, including a Boeing 747 gifted to the White House for use as Air Force One. There are also plans for a replica of the Oval Office with gold trim and drapes, as well as a hallway with plaques of past presidents, similar to the 'walk of fame' installed at the White House. The library will also feature a large ballroom with a design closely resembling the former White House East Wing.

  • President Trump posted the renderings on Truth Social on March 31, 2026.
  • The Trump Foundation is looking to raise over $1 billion to build the library and museum.
