A <a href="https://archinect.com/forum/thread/150234987/donald-j-trump-presidential-library" target="_blank">discussion about it in the Archinect forum</a> included comments like "much too nice," "not enough gold," "I like that Putin makes an appearance in most of the renderings," "far too tasteful for Trump - have you seen that guy's buildings?" and "that's brilliant, great location, but who's the architect?"</p>
<p>The LA Times' Carolina A. Miranda managed to track down the anonymous designer responsible for this masterpiece. Without naming the individual, it was disclosed that it was a design by a licensed NY architect, with help from a number of friends. </p>
<p><strong><em>Will the Trump Presidential Library contain any actual books?</em></strong></p>
<p><em>That’s a question we get a lot. The first floor will have a criminal records room and we will keep some copies of “The Art of the Deal” around. But how do you design a library for someone who doesn’t read? That is the joke.</em></p>
