Yeah, two weeks ago.
By the way, something that I'm โ we're a tourism town, and if you want to open a tourist attraction here, I don't really care what it is.
I'm fine with a Trump library, presidential library, hotel, casino, whatever the hell it is, being built over here.
The problem is, is the real estate hustle.
The problem is, is that they gifted him this โ
Upwards of 350 million dollar piece of land owned by this public university, this public college.
Turns out I'm not alone in that feeling.
A poll by Bendixson Amandi and reported here in Florida politics shows that a whopping 74 percent.
of Miami-Dade respondents say that this 2.6 acre parcel targeted for this Trump facility should instead stay with the college for possible expansion.
Just 14% said the state should take the land and gift it to Trump.
Naturally, Republicans are warmer to the idea with 59 percent supporting a Trump library on the state acquired Miami-Dade College land compared to 29 percent who oppose it.
Whereas you have 94 percent of Democrats against the plan.
But here's the thing.
Sixty nine percent of third party and no party voters feel the same.
This is not a winning issue.
It's barely even a winning issue amongst Republicans in Miami-Dade County.
That was a very surprising poll to see, honestly.
Well, it certainly doesn't feel kosher.
Like, I don't know if it's legal or not.
And there's certainly going to be legal challenges that are working their way through the courts now.
