WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?
The djtrumplibrary.com website, depicting a virtual presidential library in a satirical light, has identified a passionate audience of over one million visitors.
The site has been featured in multiple print publications including:
- Washington Post
- Los Angeles Times
- The Independent
- Forbes
- Bloomberg
- Le Devoir
- Fast Company
- Hyperallergenic, and others
And not to brag, but the website was chosen as a Webby Award Honoree in 2021. Let's call that phase one.
WHATEVER, WHY DO I CARE?
Every president since Herbert Hoover has had a Presidential Library. Do you think America's foremost self promoter is going to forgo this opportunity to shape history?
OH CRAP.
Yeah, oh crap. A sentient orange infomercial was given the nuclear codes and he's certainly going to be very... creative.. in the retelling of his tenure. It's almost enough to make one want to drink bleach.
FINE. SO WHAT SHOULD WE DO?
Glad you asked! Build his library before he can.
If you have noticed, he's a little occupied ruining the country... again...
With the 45th/47th president not removing himself, or his dangerous ideas, from the public discourse, it is necessary to create a venue to act as a counterbalance to his hurtful legacy.
And if we can have a few laughs in the process, even better.
OK, WHAT IS THE PLAN?
The phase two goal of the DJTL team is to execute a pop-up presidential library dedicated to the documentation (read: mockery) of the Trump’s tenure in office.
IS THIS REALLY NECESSARY?
This library is urgently needed to counteract the misinformation that the eventual presidential library is sure to spread.
As the insurrection on January 6th, 2021 showed, Donald Trump and his brand of nationalism are here to stay.
So someone probably needs to extend a critical middle finger towards the MAGA movement for posterity.
SO YOU'RE ASKING FOR MONEY?
Unlike 'some' people, we pay taxes, so we can't self fund this.
THAT'S A CHUNK OF CHANGE, WHAT DOES IT PAY FOR?
Budgetting is preliminary and may be adjusted up or down as the project develops. Potential costs include:
A. Hard Costs:
- 2.5 month lease
- Staffing on site
- Exhibit insurance
- Project buildout
B. Soft Costs:
- Additional exhibits and renderings
- Honorariums for design staff
- Project management
- Travel / opening reception
C. Professional Services:

D. Grifting Slush Fund to Our Team
- Just making sure you are paying attention.
(SIGH) I'LL DONATE. WHAT'S IN IT FOR ME?
Rewards to our donors:
$50 donation: donor credit
- Your name on the credit page as a founding donor of the project (if you choose)
Whatever oligarch that donates the full amount:
- Probably whatever you want? Let us know. It would still be less than Stephen Miller gave Satan to be allowed to run the White House…
FINE PRINT:
- For benefits to kick in, the project needs to be fully funded at crowdfunding goal.
DISCLAIMER:
The DJTL phase two is an act of protected speech (SATIRE and/or PARODY) of a public figure. This is an artistic project in the vein of Hustler v. Falwell. Further, the critical nature of this project pertains to Trump's public service only and no inference should be made that this project is critical of any commercial services offered by his various business interests.
