President Donald Trump renewed his criticism of the Barack Obama Presidential Center this weekend, ridiculing the massive Chicago project with a satirical AI-generated image and continuing a long-running series of jabs aimed at the future library and museum.

The Obama Presidential Center, an $850 million complex under construction on Chicago’s South Side, is scheduled to open on Juneteenth. The project has faced scrutiny over delays and rising costs during its development.

On Saturday, Trump shared an AI-generated image on his Truth Social platform depicting the center towering over a low-income Chicago neighborhood with an enormous trash bag draped across the roof.

“The Barack Hussein Obama Library, in 10 years, when fully matured!” Trump trolled on his Truth Social platform.

The post marked the latest in a string of social media attacks targeting the Obama Center.

Just one week earlier, Trump posted another digitally altered image portraying the facility as a giant trash can standing in a parking lot beneath the caption “The Obama Presidential Library.”

Trump has also criticized the project publicly while discussing plans for his own presidential library.

Speaking to reporters at the White House in March while unveiling conceptual renderings for a planned presidential complex in Miami, Trump contrasted his vision with that of the Obama Center.

“I don’t believe in building libraries or museums … like the Barack Hussein Obama one in Chicago,” Trump told reporters at the White House in March, when he unveiled the renderings for his in Miami.

During those remarks, Trump offered a colorful description of what he envisioned for his own project.

Trump said his presidential library was “most likely going to be a hotel with a beautiful building underneath and a 747 Air Force One in the lobby.”

The latest exchange highlights the continuing rivalry between Trump and former President Barack Obama, with the president frequently using social media to mock projects and initiatives associated with his predecessor as construction on the Chicago center moves toward completion.
