The Trump administration Friday unveiled new renderings of its proposed triumphal arch, a 250-foot structure planned to tower over a traffic circle near Arlington National Cemetery.

The memorial, dubbed “Independence Arch,” is part of President Donald Trump’s broader effort to leave a mark on the nation’s capitol and to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence this year.

It's not that I don't realize how much you guys live to troll those of us who think trump is doing permanent damage to the country. Cuz........you know........he is. But this, this can't be okay with you.......can it? A permanent structure in the capital city celebrating what triumphs exactly? A proposal for $1.5T in military spending partially paid for by cuts to the social safety net. The costs for which will be deferred to the states? A measles outbreak attributable to an unqualified quack running HHS? The abuses of ICE? The ruination of the DoJ? A litany of broken campaign promises? Near historic unpopularity?

This is unjustified self-aggrandizement on an epic scale. It's not the kind of thing a US prez has ever done. EVER. Because it's undignified, it's classless, and it's a physical display of monumental, unbridled ego. IWO, it perfectly exemplifies trump. But it has no place in America.

PS It's okay to admit you're repulsed even if I started this thread.

Then there's the Seward-Drake Memorial that has been abandoned.. By the Leftist mayors of NYC...
Since there are no memorial arches built in Washington D.C., it seems appropriate to build one at the entrance of Arlington Cemetery.
I see little if any opposition other than Democrats. It would memorialize those in our military that have given their all to America.
