Bill aims to let Donald Trump bypass local rules to build presidential library in Florida

Republicans want to honor a history-making Floridian with the presidential library he desires.

Legislation filed Thursday for the 2025 legislative session aims to preempt municipal-level zoning laws so President-elect Donald Trump can build a presidential library in Florida his way, without interference from local government.

State Sen. Jason Brodeur, a Central Florida Republican, has filed a presidential library preemption bill that prohibits any county, local, or even state entity from enforcing any regulation on such libraries.

If it becomes law, Trump would have to follow federal regulations but otherwise could do as he wants if he chooses to build his library in Florida.

These slobbering Republican fools really want to make this ignorant criminal our nation's king.

"Republicans want to honor a history-making Floridian with the presidential library he desires."

No, he's an infamous New Yorker and he is devoid of anything to be honored for.

It will probably be swept into to the sea before it's even finished.

The library will need extra bathrooms to house his literary collection.

That can hold his shit.

Or he can just store it in his bathroom, if it's good enough for state secrets, it's good enough for his nonsense.
