After he left office at the end of his first term, Donald Trump didn’t do much work on his presidential library, seemingly distracted by his various criminal trials and his quest to return to the presidency.

But now, we have our first look at what the president has planned for his library. And it’s certainly a Trump-style building.

“In the nearly two-minute-long video shared by the president on Truth Social, a skyscraper dominates the Miami skyline with the Trump name prominently displayed near the top of the structure,” CNN reported. “Visitors are depicted entering the building through a golden arch adorned with the presidential seal. Once inside, the imagined interior features exhibits replicating White House landscapes, iconography referencing Trump’s political career, and a host of aircraft on display, including Air Force One.”

CNN added that the renderings “appear to be AI-generated,” although the report also said a real-life, non-AI architectural firm has been retained.

“The renderings, designed by Miami-based architecture firm Bermello Ajamil, include reconstructions of Trump’s gilded Oval Office and the Rose Garden. Scenes in the mock-ups also resemble the “Presidential Walk of Fame” installed on the West Colonnade and plans for an immense ballroom Trump is hoping to build where the East Wing once stood,” CNN reported.

“This landmark on the water in Miami, Florida will stand as a lasting testament to an amazing man, an amazing developer, and the greatest President our Nation has ever known,” the president’s son Eric Trump said in introducing the look at the future library, CNN said.

The renderings also indicate that the library will likely be very expensive.

There were some shocked reactions online to the renderings:
