Trump Says Construction of His Triumphal Arch' Will Begin Sometime in the Next Two Months'

"The arch is one of several building projects Trump has pushed for as the country enters into its 250th year, proposed to be constructed at the culmination of a bridge that leads from the Lincoln Memorial to Arlington National Cemetery. The design of models Trump has shown reporters echoes that of the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, France and would be designed to honor America's military veterans."

"Politico's West Wing Playbook author Sophia Cai reported on Trump's latest comments about the arch project Wednesday. Cai reached Trump by phone at Mar-a-Lago and asked when he expected work to begin. It hasn't started yet. It starts sometime in the next two months. It'll be great. Everyone loves it, replied Trump. They love the ballroom too. But they love the Triumphal Arch."

A planned Triumphal Arch in Washington, D.C. is expected to begin construction within two months. The arch is proposed to terminate a bridge leading from the Lincoln Memorial to Arlington National Cemetery. The design shown in models echoes the Arc de Triomphe in Paris and is intended to honor America's military veterans. The arch is one of several building projects tied to the country's 250th year, including demolition of the White House East Wing for a ballroom and adding a personalized name to the Kennedy Center. Those efforts have been divisive, drawing cheers from supporters and condemnation and lawsuits from critics. Critics cite cost, aesthetics and whether the executive branch can unilaterally authorize such construction.
