From bibles to perfumes, cultural centers, smartphones that don’t exist and universities that have fallen into disgrace, the name Donald J. Trump is everywhere. An American NGO thought it was time to create something that truly deserves the name of the US president.
An organization defending transparency in the United States has installed a temporary library in which approximately 3.5 million pages printed from the files on the deceased sex offender’s case.
The library, located in New York, is called “The Donald J. Trump and Jeffrey Epstein Memorial Reading Room“, something like “Donald J. Trump and Jeffrey Epstein Commemorative Reading Room”, and brings together all the documents published by the courts in 3.437 volumes.
“The truth is hard to deny when it’s in print and bound for consultation”, says a sentence from the exhibition organized by .
“From bibles to perfumespassing buildings, smartphones that don’t exist and disgraced universities, the name Donald J. Trump is everywhereclaiming credit for things built by generations of Americans”, says the Washington-based NGO, in an introduction to the exhibition.
“And that’s why we are proud to present something that truly deserves the name Trump: the Donald J. Trump and Jeffrey Epstein Commemorative Reading Room — the complete collection, curated and optimized for research by citizens,” adds the NGO’s video.

Visitors can also leave messages on a wall. “A society can be judged by the way it treats its victims” and “Publish the files and remove him from office”, some of the notes say.
“We are a pro-democracy organization, with the aim of — as you know — educate the public using this type of temporary museum and other in-person experiences to help people understand corruption in the United States,” he told AFP David Garrettone of the creators of the project.
“I think that a genuine public protest is needed“, he added. “And in a way, what we try to do here is help spark that outrage.”
However, the public is not authorized to consult the volumesparticularly for protect some of the victims whose names were not censored by the Department of Justice. Only certain professionalslike lawyers and journalists, are authorized to read the documents, notes AFP.
