Chris questions the growing trend of massive presidential libraries and asks whether they serve history—or the politicians who build them. From the nearly billion-dollar Obama Presidential Center to future plans for a Trump library, he argues that public servants should focus on service, not legacy-building. He explores the history of presidential libraries, the costs involved, reports of contractor disputes, and the broader culture of politicians putting their names on everything. A commentary on humility, public service, and why history may not need so many monuments to the people who made it.
