Usually, we have to wait until a presidency is over before we get a presidential library. The Daily Show has already built one for President Donald Trump, but it is a unique one. It is a Twitter library located in New York City, across from Trump Tower.
The Daily Show host Trevor Noah was asked why they are doing this now. He said:
“Yes, that’s true. Unfortunately, we do not know when his term will end. It could be next week, it could be never. So we decided to do it now.”
Noah also added:
“He may not be good at president-ing, or leading, or geopolitics, but he is a damn fine Twitterer.”
“… It’s about giving context to the tweets. Not absorbing them one bite at a time, but rather looking at them as a body of work.”
There is even a mock Oval Office where you can sit on a golden toilet and tweet like Donald Trump, complete with monogrammed bathrobe.
The library has even extended its hours today due to popular demand.
Due to popular demand, the #DailyShowLibrary will remain open tonight until 10pm. Sunday hours: 10am-7pm. pic.twitter.com/vBmTEDVWTu

There is a wall of “verified survivors,” which is people who Trump has attacked on Twitter. Luckily, they all lived to tell the tale:

And one of the more important exhibits, the live tweet alarm that lights up and sounds off each time Trump tweets:
