Trump's DC Triumphal Arch entering final design stages

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump’s plans for a new triumphal arch in the capital, unveiled on Friday, include a towering winged figure with a Lady Liberty-like torch and crown, flanked by two eagles and guarded by four lions — all gilded.

Trump has said he wants to build the arch near the Lincoln Memorial and argued that the nation’s capital first sought such a monument 200 years ago.
“It was interrupted by a thing called the Civil War, and so it never got built,” Trump said in February. “Then, they almost built something in 1902, but it never happened.”
quote:
The 12-page plan released by the U.S. Commission on Fine Arts shows the arch will stand 250 feet tall (76.2 meters) from its base to the tip of the winged figure’s torch, with “One Nation Under God” and “Liberty and Justice for All” inscribed in gold atop either side of the monument.
The plan indicates the structure would stand between the Lincoln Memorial in the east and Arlington National Cemetery toward the west and within a traffic circle connecting Washington with northern Virginia. The arch would dwarf the Lincoln Memorial, which stands at 99 feet tall (30.2 meters).
The 250 feet tall arch would celebrate the 250th anniversary of American independence.
For reference, the Arc de Triomphe in Paris is approximately 164 feet tall. This will be 100 feet taller.

Trump is a boastful idiot. A poor man’s Vince McMahon. I voted for the guy. We need to admit mistakes and move on.

What a waste, we need to be sending that money to Israel.

He better find a way to protect it because the second the left has power that thing is coming down like the Saddam Hussein statue.

He wasn’t a mistake. He was the best option. We need to find better candidates.

Looks like something the 3rd Reich would build.

My one critique is to get rid of the gold. Other than that, it looks awesome.

Brandenburg Gate, the arch which you're referring to, was built in 1788. It's been around long before Hitler's time.
It's not even an arch, btw
Did you know we already have one in New York City that was built in 1892?

Another distraction.

So now the next president will be like "he left his signature on the WH, I want to do the same so I am going to add ______".
