President Donald Trump said on Tuesday (31 March) that he “doesn’t believe in libraries or museums” two days after announcing plans to build a skyscraper for his presidential library.

Taking questions in the Oval Office, Trump said, “ It’s a library. It’s a museum.”

“It’s a presidential… but I wouldn’t start it till I’m out of the office. I don’t believe in building libraries or museums.”

On Monday, Trump shared a video on his Truth Social, with an AI-generated video of his plans of building the “Donald Trump Presidential Library” with a gold statue and gold staircase.

Initially announced as a library, Trump now said “ you know, this concept could be office, but it’s most likely gonna be a hotel with it.”
