Mock-ups for Donald Trump’s gaudy new presidential library feature a howling error.
Renderings for the Donald J. Trump Presidential Library were revealed by his son Eric Trump on Monday, complete with a huge gold statue of his dad and a jumbo jet. However, many quickly noted that a massive American flag—spanning multiple stories—had 56 stars instead of 50.
The AI mockup showed an enormous flag hanging beneath the word “Trump” in huge lettering on the building—slated for construction in downtown Miami, Florida—but nobody bothered to count the stars on the Star Spangled Banner.
The glaring error comes despite Trump’s second son proudly saying that he had “poured my heart and soul” into the project over the past six months.
In his brag on X, the younger Trump said, “This landmark on the water in Miami, Florida will stand as a lasting testament to an amazing man, an amazing developer, and the greatest President our Nation has ever known.”
The artist’s impression also features what appears to be an AI rendition of the White House’s Oval Office, Trump’s not-yet-built ballroom, and other aircraft, including fighter jets.
The gold statue, meanwhile, stands in what appears to be a vast auditorium, showing Trump’s right arm raised and his fist clenched in front of a massive window.
Trump’s daughter, Tiffany, gushed with pride over the seemingly book-free “library,” saying in response to her half-brother’s post, “Great job, Eric Trump, this will be iconic.”
There is no indication of when the massive skyscraper will be completed, other than the promise that it is “coming soon.”
While the timeline is murky, Trump is asking his die-hard supporters by email to help fund the project, which the president admits will “most likely” be turned into a commercial hotel.
“It’s going to be most likely a hotel, with a beautiful building underneath and a 747 Air Force One in the lobby,” Trump said from the Oval Office on Tuesday.
In a deal with the state of Florida, Trump was handed the land for his vanity project by Miami-Dade College.
“They say it’s the best block in Miami, and the state worked with us,” Trump added.
Some have speculated that the inclusion of 56 stars is not a mistake. Trump has shown interest in expanding the United States by forcing or inviting statehood on Canada, Greenland, Venezuela, and others.
The Daily Beast has contacted the White House and the Trump Organization for comment.
