Trump Presidential Library meets unstoppable force

President Donald Trump paused his management of the war in Iran to promote his new designs for his presidential library on Monday night. By Tuesday, people who've been in Miami questioned the safety of a building so tall.

The new library looks remarkably similar to his New York Trump Tower, with a gold elevator and marble.

While the new renderings aren't yet uploaded to Trump's library website, Trump posted the photos to social media showing that the gargantuan structure will be 50 stories tall, The Guardian reported Monday. It appears to dwarf other buildings in Miami, with almost twice as much height, one reporter observed.

The reality, however, is that the Panorama Tower is currently the tallest building in Miami, with 85 stories. So, the new Trump Tower won't be the biggest in the city from the start of construction.

There are two other new buildings that, when completed, will be taller than the Panorama Tower: the Waldorf Astoria Miami (100 stories) and the Cipriani Residences Miami (80 stories). There are 11 other buildings currently in Miami that will stand above Trump's. Seven buildings are currently under construction in Miami that will be larger than the new Trump library.

Trump's structure won't even be among the top 20 largest buildings in the city if it is completed.

Another key detail prompted one reporter to suggest architects rethink the design to take the Florida weather into account. While many are eagerly building larger and larger structures in the city,

"I don't know if he's ever been to Miami in the windy season, like, that building is two buildings taller than everything else in Miami, according to the rendering," said CNN senior White House correspondent Kristen Holmes. "Like I would be scared just in a normal-sized building in Miami for the windows rattling. I think they need to rethink the size of that just based on where it is."

Holmes, too, was looking at the rendering photos, not the actual specs.
