Overview
- Trump’s team released a glossy first-look video Tuesday, with Eric Trump posting designs on X and saying his group spent six months developing the concept.
- The visuals depict a glass-and-gold tower with a large Trump sign, gold escalators, a statue of Trump, an Oval Office replica, and displays that include an Air Force One–style 747.
- Foundation tax filings set a roughly $1 billion target and say some money could come from settlement payments from legal disputes with media companies.
- The preferred site sits on Miami Dade College land near the Freedom Tower, which reports value at about $67 million, and coverage ties access to a political agreement backed by Governor Ron DeSantis.
- Local reporting shows strong resistance, with a Miami Herald–cited poll finding about 74% oppose using the college parcel, and multiple outlets say the promo appears AI-generated with telltale gaps such as a “library” with no books.
