Trump’s Arch Is Blocked for Now, but a Glitzy New Website Highlights the Plans
The new site touts gold ornamentation, event space and security features while omitting cost details, with estimates reaching $100 million, officials said.
- On Friday, President Donald Trump's administration launched a website for the proposed United States Military Triumphal Arch, defying a federal judge's 14-day restraining order prohibiting groundbreaking at the site.
- Construction is planned between the Lincoln Memorial and Arlington National Cemetery, with estimates for the 250-foot structure reaching as high as $100 million according to the website.
- Plans for the arch include munitions storage and sniper positions, which the website describes as 'set aside for snipers, countersnipers, and provisions for a sniper nest,' marking an unusual military design.
- Trump is continuing efforts to remodel the White House and Washington to his personal tastes, a push that persists even after his party lost control of Congress.
- Branded as 'an American vision finally realized,' the proposal features inscriptions including 'One Nation Under God' and 'Golden Age of America,' with design flourishes recalling Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida.
