    Not a huge fan of the overall design personally but hey it doesn’t have a hidden bedroom in it like the one in Little Rock does, so I guess that’s a plus šŸ˜‚

    Will it have anything about Obama ruining America? Or how he gave Iran 1.7 billion to help fund their nuclear program along with his buddy Biden, who gave them billions when he was in office and made America even worse.

    Worst two men we ever had together in the White House. Mike and Obummer divided and tried to destroy this once great nation , with their awful policies.

    $850 million to build. Admission cost $30 per adult 12 and over $23 per child. $106 for a family of four. Illinois residents receive a discounted rate but you might be required to show an ID to prove residency. šŸ˜

    $850 million to construct this. Admission is $30 for adults and $23 for children. To put this into perspective, a new amusement park in Texas is opening up (Universal Kids Resort) in 2026 and the cost to build that was $550 million.

    Every President gets a ā€œPresidential Libraryā€ and all of the ā€œwhat aboutā€ comments clearly illustrate that MAGA doesn’t understand how things work.

    Is the 4 hands in the room with us? Lol. That said the entire grounds, including with the slide looks amazing. I don’t think there’s been a nicer presidential library, like this campus actually looks like a nice visit.
