“There will be no facility like this anywhere in the World,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform. He added that out of “the 59 top cities and Capitals”, Washington DC is “the only one in the world that does not have a triumphal arch”, without specifying what those cities are. <\/p>\n

Construction on Trump’s 250-foot arch, planned for a site across the Potomac River from Washington DC just outside the Arlington National Cemetery, was expected to begin this month. <\/p>\n

A rendering of the design from earlier this year includes a golden, winged Lady Liberty on the top of the arch, flanked by two gold eagles, and with the phrases “One Nation Under God” and “Liberty and Justice for All” inscribed in gold on either side of the structure. It will stand 250-feet (76m) from its base to the top of the golden lady statue.<\/p>\n

At that height, the structure would dwarf the 99-foot Lincoln Memorial nearby and be half as high as the Washington Monument.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
