Overview

  • Florida Atlantic University’s Boca Raton campus is under consideration to host the library because of its close proximity to Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate.
  • Lawyers for Trump and FAU are negotiating a 100-year lease that would allow the library site to be used at no cost.
  • A nonprofit established by Eric Trump and Michael Boulos will spearhead a fundraising campaign aiming to collect hundreds of millions of dollars.
  • Project financing is expected to draw on tens of millions in leftover inauguration funds plus over $37 million recovered through settlements with ABC News and Meta Platforms.
  • Envisioned as a 'MAGA Mecca', the library is set to display presidential memorabilia, host events and potentially feature Trump’s $400 million luxury jet.
