Miami Dade College plans to cede millions of dollars' worth of land to Trump's "Presidential Library"

A Florida educator is seeking to thwart local officials’ hasty deal to hand over land in downtown Miami for the construction of Donald Trump’s presidential library.

Florida International University professor Marvin Dunn filed a legal complaint with the Miami-Dade State Attorney’s Office in an attempt to stop Miami Dade College’s plan to cede millions of dollars’ worth of land to Trump’s nonprofit so it can build his presidential library — and God knows what else.

“I want Miami Dade College trustees to rescind that offer,” Dunn told WPLG, a Miami television station. “They took land from our kids without the decency of asking us, the public, what we thought about that.”

The vice chair of the college’s board of trustees, Roberto Alonso, told the station that the board had followed all “applicable” transparency guidelines. Gov. Ron DeSantis and his Republican administration approved the move Tuesday.

There needs to be a centralized repository of all the evil he has done.

Use the German model here: after Reunification the new German government built libraries to hold the records of all the East German government agencies. Do the same thing with Trump, and do it in two places: Mar-a-Lago and his apartment at the top of Trump Tower.
