Makes me miss the understated "Mission Accomplished!" banner of W.

Wait till you see the Obama Library.

A President having a library is pretty much par for the course. Wanting to erect some kind of "Triumphal Arch" is another (not to mention tearing down part of the White House to build a ballroom).

If Trump just wanted a library, I'd have nothing to say about that. (Okay, not true, because I doubt that the man has ever read a book in his life.)

At the risk of sounding like a Trump spokesman, the arc is officially dedicated, not to Trump, but to the 250th birthday of the country (wink wink, nod nod). As for the ballroom, I view it as hardly necessary, but nobody said anything when Obama put a basketball court in the White House.

As for reading books, I agree he isn't that well-spoken, but he did get a good education, and he has written at least one book that I know of.

There are many valid reasons to criticize Trump or not like him. I think you are nitpicking here.

Obama adapted an existing tennis court by adding lines and hoops. He didn't build it in the White House or tear a whole wing down. The comparison isn't even close, but I should have preempted it because I'm familiar with the talking point.

As for the book, we know that his ghost writer did it for him..
