Miami residents take Trump's proposed library to court citing the emoluments clause of the Constitution.

The corporate parent of Dunn's Overtown Farm, a nonprofit farm and market in Miami co-founded by historian and psychology professor Dr. Marvin Dunn, filed the case in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida on Wednesday. The court filing immediately cited Trump's own expressed disdain for libraries and museums as proof that "corruption" is afoot, the likes of which Benjamin Franklin tried to prevent by insisting on a domestic emoluments clause in the first place.

"With its waterfront views and central location in bustling Downtown Miami, the MDC (Miami Dade College) Parcel would likely sell for over $300 million on the open market, according to local real estate experts. But President Trump paid nothing for it," the lawsuit said, of Trump asserting that he doesn't "believe in building libraries or museums."

The plaintiffs collectively said the "giveaway" of the land to Trump to build "components of a Presidential library, museum, and/or center within five years of conveyance" plainly runs afoul of the Constitution, considering that Trump himself has since said "it's most likely going to be a hotel with a beautiful building underneath and a 747 Air Force One in the lobby."

In short, the lawsuit argues that Florida Republicans cannot just give the sitting Republican president of the United States a new hotel spot on land valued in the hundreds of millions for free to build a "library" that is, according to Trump, "most likely going to be a hotel[.]"
