President Donald Trump unveiled a first look at plans for his presidential library in a video made using AI that he posted on social media Monday night. The video showed designs for the future Donald J. Trump Presidential Library and Museum, expected to be in Miami on the city’s waterfront, a location announced by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis last September.
The rendering depicts a multi-story tower bearing the “TRUMP” logo similar to his other properties. Interior visuals include a West Wing-like colonnade, an auditorium, and a massive ballroom resembling plans Trump has discussed for replacing the East Wing of the White House. The video also shows a replica of the Oval Office with the president’s updated decor, a large amphitheater and a prominent gold statue of Trump.
Eric Trump, who shared the video on X, said he had “poured my heart and soul into this project” over the past six months. In a phone interview with ABC News’ Jonathan Karl, Trump gave his son’s plans “five stars,” called the design “beautiful,” and indicated the presidential library will likely include a hotel. He also said he does not want construction to begin until after his term in office.
The video appears to show the planned museum housing a luxury jet gifted by Qatar, described in reports as a $400 million “unconditional gift.” Trump told reporters the property will “most likely” be a hotel “with a beautiful building underneath and a 747 Air Force One in the lobby.” Sources told ABC News last year that, under a memorandum of understanding signed by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Qatar’s minister of state for defense affairs, the Qatari plane — dubbed a “flying palace” — would move to the presidential library foundation after Trump leaves office.
The placement of the jet alongside other aircraft mirrors how President Ronald Reagan’s Air Force One is displayed at the Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, California. The library rendering shows the jet in the powder-blue livery of the current Air Force One, though the retrofitted Qatari jet will not wear that scheme; in mid-February the Air Force confirmed a new color scheme for future Air Force Ones, including the Qatari jet, featuring a dark blue, red and gold stripe.
It is unclear how much money has been raised for the library and museum. The initial 501(c)(3) set up for the project folded last year and never filed an annual report; the new foundation has not yet issued annual reports either.
