"I don't believe in building libraries or museums" -Trump

This was said when he was discussing plans for his presidential library which will be a hotel.

Everyone is acting like he didn't say this. It's not surprising. Libraries and museums don't make a lot of money. I suspect that they exist at all must really confuse him. I'm not saying this to make fun of him. It just seems to be... how it is.

Is this just rage bait for liberals? Come on look at it.

I had to find the video to check that he really said this. Those were the words, in that order. I suspect if anyone got around to asking about it, you get a salad of nonsense back ... so I will take this sentence at face value.

@futurebird He views libraries and museums as only the domain of "smart people", who "don't like him". Also, they are repositories of knowledge, of history, of culture, which are not the kind of thing Project 2025-ists want around. Plus, how can he make a quick buck from them? Amazing that he is the embodiment of all the worst human traits, in one person.

@futurebird I just assumed we'd have the first ever presidential casino when all was said and done.

Do you have a link to the video? I need to archive it.

And ...

Urgh.

@futurebird Thanks.

I'm struggling to download that one, but I have what appears to be the same video from another source.

Just ...

Euch.

@futurebird this is completely reasonable (in his tiny world). He doesn’t read. Libraries just hold books (that was the case when he went to school, and thats still the case, right? #sarcasm ). Books are for reading. Also, libraries are non profit (he learned in school)
So he cant see any use for them.
This is totally sensible to his tiny mind :(
