Trump: 'Triumphal Arch' Build Begins in '2 Months'

"It hasn't started yet. It starts sometime in the next two months. It'll be great. Everyone loves it," Trump told POLITICO when reached by phone from Mar-a-Lago. "They love the ballroom too. But they love the Triumphal Arch." The proposed structure -- modeled loosely on European victory monuments -- is one of several high-profile projects Trump has personally championed as part of the semiquincentennial celebrations, a sprawling effort expected to include national and local events across the country.

"Trump has framed the project as a patriotic landmark meant to honor American history and military service, though critics have raised questions about cost, aesthetics and whether the executive branch has the authority to unilaterally move forward with such construction in Washington.

He has also promoted an Ultimate Fighting Championship event on White House grounds on June 14."

"They love the ballroom too. But they love the Triumphal Arch."

It will take billions to demolish these things once they're built.

But yes, they need to be torn down. Every one of them.

How many times will Trump's face and name appear on the thing?

Looking forward to the Trump and Marines Iwo Jima Memorial at the Trump-Arlington National Cemetery.

The inscription might be a paraphrase of the section of Emma Lazarus' "The Great Collissus" on the Statue of Liberty to honor (his) ICE:

Send us your fat, your fired, your biggest azzes yearning to beat meat
The wretched incels of mom's basement floor
Send these, the hombre hating jerks to me
I rest my lamp beside Trump's golden door
