Paul Musgrave Writes about President Trump’s Presidential Library

In a Washington Post editorial entitled “Trump’s presidential library will be a shrine to his ego,” Paul Musgrave, Assistant Professor of Political Science at UMass Amherst, writes about how former presidents have used their presidential libraries to frame their legacy. Musgrave writes that President Trump’s library “will be a shrine to his ego… Following a trail blazed most successfully by Richard Nixon, turning his presidential library into an image-making prop will be among the most normal things Trump ever does.” (The Washington Post, 11/18/20)
