Trump Mocks $850 Million Obama Center With AI Image as Juneteenth Opening Nears

3 articles · Updated · New York Post · Jun 6

Summary

  • Trump posted an AI-generated image on Truth Social showing the Barack Obama Presidential Center with a giant trash bag draped over its roof.
  • The post targeted the $850 million Chicago library and museum, which is scheduled to open on Juneteenth on the South Side after drawing criticism over delays and cost overruns.
  • Trump has repeatedly attacked the project, calling it an unattractive building that is seriously late and seriously over budget and sharing another fabricated trash-themed image a week earlier.
  • His latest jab extends a broader contrast with his own presidential project: in March, Trump said his planned Miami library would likely be a hotel with a 747 Air Force One in the lobby.
