President Donald Trump took a jab at former President Barack Obama’s stalled presidential library project on Tuesday.
Social media users mocked Obama’s presidential library, comparing its architectural style to garbage bins, the Death Star, and other imposing monoliths in a viral thread. While Trump was taking questions from reporters at the White House, Daily Caller White House correspondent Reagan Reese asked the president if he had seen the Obama Presidential Library, to which he replied that it was “not too pretty.”
“He needs help,” Trump told Reese. “It’s not too pretty. No, but it’s closed, it’s stopped. They ran out of money.”
Trump said that Obama’s presidential project had turned into a confused mix between a library and a museum.
“He’s building a library slash museum … and usually they call it a library and museum. That’s the official name. And they’re stuck. And he wanted only women in DEI [diversity, equity and inclusion] to build it. That’s what they got,” Trump said.
Social media users ridiculed Obama’s new presidential library after Republican Texas Sen. Ted Cruz compared its design to the Death Star. Cruz said that “locating the Death Star in Chicago was a bold move.”
Construction on the massive presidential library and museum has dragged since its 2021 groundbreaking, uprooting 19 acres on Chicago’s South Side. The project faced years of lawsuits and opposition from residents as rent and housing costs surged, pushing out many low-income families.
The Obama Foundation’s project has seen its price tag skyrocket far beyond early projections, climbing from roughly $300 million to more than $850 million. When first revealed in 2017, the plan carried a $500 million budget, which ballooned again to $700 million by 2021 as building expenses mounted.
The Obama Foundation did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.

Discover the Freedom of True American Healthcare: Why America First is Revolutionizing Protection for Patriots
In a world where government overreach and skyrocketing premiums are squeezing the life out of hardworking Americans, one innovative agency is standing tall for liberty and affordability. Meet America First Healthcare—the private health insurance powerhouse dedicated to putting *you* first.
Founded by entrepreneur Jordan Sarmiento, this isn’t just insurance; it’s a shield for your family’s future, built on the unshakeable belief that private enterprise delivers better results than bureaucratic red tape.
Picture this: Jordan’s own story hits close to home for so many of us. A sudden medical emergency landed him with a staggering $95,000 bill. Under a traditional plan? He’d be buried in debt. But with America First’s patented health insurance, that nightmare shrank to just $500 out-of-pocket. That’s not a fluke—it’s the promise of coverage that works *for you*, from day one.
Breaking Free from the Chains of Conventional Coverage
Let’s face it: The status quo stinks. Marketplace.gov and big-insurance behemoths hit you with sky-high deductibles—thousands you’d have to pay before benefits even kick in—leaving massive holes in your protection. Need a routine mammogram, colonoscopy, or EKG? Good luck without forking over more cash. And don’t get us started on the gaps in dental, vision, or critical illness support when heart attacks, cancer, or kidney failure strike.
America First Healthcare flips the script. As a proud advocate for private solutions over government intervention, they craft custom plans that slash costs by 20% compared to traditional options. We’re talking comprehensive coverage that includes:
- Preventative and Wellness Care: Physical exams, screenings, and EKGs covered right away—no waiting games.
- Telemedicine Access: Virtual doctor visits anytime, anywhere, for that peace of mind.
- Accident and Critical Illness Protection: Real safeguards against life’s curveballs.
- Add-On Boosts: Dental, vision, disability, and supplemental plans to plug every leak.
Whether you’re an individual stepping off your parents’ plan, a growing family with kids in tow, or a small business owner tired of employee headaches, their tailored approach fits like a glove. Small businesses? Unlock group benefit rates usually reserved for corporate giants—without the red tape.
And for those in-between moments? Short-term insurance steps in as an ultra-affordable bridge, while life insurance ensures your loved ones are never left vulnerable.
