Well, Carnegie did build libraries.

And speaking of libraries, where will Trump’s be and what will be in it?

My guess is the old Playboy mansion with ancient Hugh as the librarian. The contents will be composed of Trump tweets and tweets from people who tell him how smart and intelligent he is.

I don’t know if it is true, but I had it explained to me one time that Carnegie had to be goaded by someone, maybe a president, into building those libraries, museums, etc.

I’ve always wondered about all that, and your comment reminded me. I think it was said he didn’t want to spend any of his money. To be motivated he was told he would be better know and more famous if he did things for the community. It hit his ego.

I’m going to have to study that more sometime. Any historian lizards know anything about him being motivated by others?
