Presidential Library

[Jerome]

Where do you think the Trump library will end up being located?

Plans to have the Nixon and Reagan libraries at Duke and Stanford Universities were derailed by agitation from campus activists

"Ronald and Nancy Reagan participated in occasional informal discussions about the library plans with...Stanford President Donald Kennedy through 1982. During this time, a proposal to place the Nixon Library on campus at Duke University in North Carolina was under attack.... Stanford's Board of Trustees approved the location in December 1983...[but] a student group was formed [in opposition]....This polarized response was compared in the press to the Nixon Foundation's difficulties at Duke....the library plans were canceled by Stanford in 1987"

Liberalism, Stanford-Style

"President Reagan...suggested that his presidential papers and library be housed at Stanford....The precedent of John F. Kennedy’s association with Harvard notwithstanding, some Stanford professors objected vigorously to any association with Reagan. Red buttons began appearing on campus..."

Nixon's library was nearly approved at his alma mater, supported by Duke president Terry Sanford, a liberal Democrat. But faculty and student agitators wouldn't have it, and the proposal was defeated in a narrow 34-35 vote of the Academic Council of the Left-leaning school:

"Duke President Terry Sanford...was a liberal who had served as governor of North Carolina and had seconded the nomination of John F. Kennedy for president in 1960. Yet he saw the value of having the archives of Duke's most famous alumnus on campus...he asked the former president about placing his library at Duke"

Main student leader was "community organizer" Allison Porter.

"In 1990, after 10 years as a community and union organizer, Allison helped to start the AFL-CIO Organizing Institute, where she and her colleagues recruited and trained an entire generation of organizers, opening the door for thousands of workers, students, and activists to become leaders in movements for social change....In 2008, Allison joined forces with longtime colleague Joe Alvarez to form the Alvarez Porter Group where she joins her colleagues to work with a broad spectrum of social justice organizations"


and look, there's future Southern Baptist bigwig Mark Dever backing the propaganda campaign as well:

An intriguing question. Who would dare? How about Liberty University?

Presidential libraries are overrated. Last I heard, Obama was using Chicago public park land for his library. Trump’s library can wait until we find out if he will be elected in 2024.

Herbert Hoover, who was a great man, endowed the Hoover Institution. Maybe Trump’s White House records could be lodged there.
