The official President Donald Trump Library in Palm Beach, Florida, has finally opened its doors, though it’s quite unique as far as presidential libraries go.

In lieu of the traditional trove of official records and archival documents, Trump’s presidential library just has a plaque on the wall that says, “Everything I did was perfect, legal, tremendous, better than Obama, and sexy.”

Most of the interior space was taken up by a McDonalds restaurant, which had a framed photograph on the wall of Donald Trump eating the very first Filet-O-Fish sandwich fried in the building.

There was very little inside that could be described as literary, but there was one bookshelf that featured the following books for sale authored by various personalities in Trump’s political orbit:

  • Mike Pence — “Getting Hard: How The Trump-Pence Presidency Erected Global Leadership
  • Mike Pompeo — “A Book Of Poems For Iowa And New Hampshire To Earn Their Vote In 2024
  • Ivanka Trump — “Glass Ceiling: If I Could Become An Executive Advisor To The President, Any Girl Can
  • Jared Kushner — “Boy Wonder: How I Brought Peace To The Middle East By Just Ignoring The Palestinians
  • Lindsey Graham — “101 Ways To End
