Oh for crying out loud!
He does know the Arc de Triomphe was built to honor those who fought & died for France during the French Revolutionary & Napoleonic Wars right? Wait, of course he doesn’t. In fact all the Archs of Triumph are monuments. What’s this a monument for, oh yeah, himself. He truly does fancy himself a Roman emperor doesn’t he?
Ugh.

#Trump has grown attached to the idea of a 250-foot-tall structure overlooking the Potomac River, acc/to 2 people who spoke anonymously to describe his comments, a scale that has alarmed some architectural experts who initially supported the idea of an arch but expected a far smaller one. -

is intended to commemorate America’s 250th anniversary. Built to Trump’s specifications, it would transform a small plot of land between the Lincoln Memorial & Arlington National Cemetery into a dominant new monument, reshaping the relationship between the two memorials & obstructing pedestrians’ views. -

But he has favored the largest option, arguing that its sheer size would impress visitors to Washington, & that “250 for 250”
makes the most sense, the people said. -
