"The arch would stand 250 feet tall from its base to a torch held aloft by a Lady Liberty-like figure atop the structure. That figure would be flanked up top by two eagles and guarded at the base by four lions - all gilded."
"Trump said last week on social media that the arch 'will be the GREATEST and MOST BEAUTIFUL Triumphal Arch, anywhere in the World' and a 'wonderful addition to the Washington D.C. area for all Americans to enjoy for many decades to come!'"
"The phrases 'One Nation Under God' and 'Liberty and Justice for All' would be inscribed in gold lettering atop either side of the monument."
President Trump's design for a 250-foot Triumphal Arch in Washington D.C. has moved forward after approval from the U.S. Commission of Fine Arts. The arch features a Lady Liberty-like figure holding a torch, flanked by eagles and guarded by lions. The design includes inscriptions of patriotic phrases. The commission, composed of Trump appointees, will review an updated version before a final vote. Other projects under consideration include painting the Eisenhower Executive Office Building white and constructing an underground security center.
