Mockups he displayed bore the caption "Independence Arch."

Washington — President Trump on Wednesday showed off a model of what may be his next Washington, D.C., development project, an arch that resembles the Arc de Triomphe in Paris and is being referred to informally as the "Arc de Trump."
quote:
"It's going to be really beautiful. I think it's going to be fantastic," Trump said, as he held a model of the arch. "There's a rendering of what it will look like. You have three sizes." He added, "I happen to think the large one," indicating his preference.
CBS News' Ed O'Keefe asked the president who the arch is for, and Mr. Trump pointed at himself: "Me."

quote:
The arch is to be built on the Arlington, Virginia, side of the Memorial Bridge over the Potomac River, between the entrances to Arlington National Cemetery and the Lincoln Memorial. The arch is supposed to be completed in time for the country's 250th anniversary celebration next year. Mr. Trump has a model of it sitting in the Oval Office.
quote:
The president showed off a model of the arch at a White House dinner Wednesday night for a group of wealthy donors who are funding his White House ballroom project.

I triple checked the source, hoping this was satire.
It's not satire.

Article doesn't state how it'd be financed... judging from Trump's way of doing things, it probably won't be by increasing the debt.

My issue is that it just looks pathetically derivative.
"We are going to copy one of the most famous landmarks in the world, only more plain. But slightly bigger! And with gold things on it!"

Private donors are funding it.

We should instead build a giant toilet to symbolize all who dwell there.

I fully expected this to be satire. I hope my tax dollars aren't paying for this.

It's allegedly going to be from "leftover funds" from the ballroom project.
Allegedly.

Is he going to get sponsors to pay for it?

Since it would be privately funded, which would be my only concern, I'll just enjoy all the contrived reasons people come up with for hating the idea, just to hide why they really hate it.
