All Presidents get a library and museum for the display and preservation of their papers, records, and historical materials. No matter how disastrous a presidency is, he or she is going to get a library for having been President even if he or she gets impeached or even removed.
Which means Trump will get a library. Trump will.
What will Trump's contribution to the Presidential library system possibly be? Started in 1939 by FDR, all Presidents, even the bad ones, have contributed their historic documents to this system. Trump is an interesting case in that he neither reads nor writes anything and limits himself to about a 16-hour work week so apart from a bunch of self-serving Executive Orders that he signed and held up to the camera like a child proudly displaying a finger painting, I'm uncertain what the Donald Trump library is going to consist of other than just to be a repository of his corruption, stupidity, and lies, and possibly the Fox News program schedule and 1000 back issues of Hustler magazine he's been collecting since the mid 70's.

Makes just as much sense.
