The Pat Kenny Show · What is a presidential library, and will Trump build his own ? · 30 May 2026

Yeah, sure.
So this is the first presidential library since George W. Bush in 2013.
So it's a significant amount of time since we've had one.
It sprawls across 19 acres on Chicago's South Side, where Obama cut his teeth as a community organizer back in the 90s.
It's got 35,000 artifacts from their time in office.
Now, this is everything from...
diplomatic gifts to a life-size recreation of the Oval Office, a digital library of his papers, of course, and what will likely be a rather partisan interpretation of his various achievements in office.
It is brutalist.
It's very contemporary in its style.
And we will get to some divergent views on that.
But it's really the playbook of what happens that there is always going to be controversy about what it looks like.
When did it all start?
So Franklin Roosevelt kicked off this tradition back in the 40s and the idea was very much a library storing records, whereas this new iteration is much more of a museum and even a civic amenity is the way the Obamas have conceived it.
But still the narrative function is strong.
It's about telling the story of Obama for posterity.
Exactly.
