We know he is nuts and a hateful person. The frightening part are all the trolls empowering him. We have to save ourselves from all of them next trying to destroy our ability to vote.

What ever happened to gutting government overspend and waste? They are cutting SNAP payments for the most needy in our country and this bozo is going to spend taxpayer dollars on a gilded monument? My god the Republicans have lost their way.

they will cut any and everything that is beneficial to the people but continue to support programs that are beneficial to big business and the ultra wealthy. a gilded monument only serves his ego, because it would likely have to be named after him.

Trump can hold a Triumph, marching through the arch with his convicted political opponents wrapped in chains while he rides a magnificent gold-plated chariot. Glorious!

no $$$ for affordable health care no $$$ for student debt relief no $$$ for sustainable energy no $$$ for social services no $$$ for cancer research no $$$ for FEMA but $$$ for Argentina, farmer bailout, ICE, a ballroom & arch

Donations purchase political chits that the American taxpayer ultimately pays for in degraded environmental rules, fast-tracked federal contracts, mega mergers, insider quid pro quo services... just like the tariffs are paid for us or Argentina bailouts which directly benefit big investors.

Down the block from me lived a general contractor. His front yard was full of leftover project items - two full sized lions guarding his porch, a 4way parking lot lite in the front yard, etc., all on a 0.2 acre lot. I would trust him more to design a monument in DC.

Fun Fact: instead of using US-provided funds and material to build an airport, the Royal Laotian Government put up one of these in Vientiane before the overthrow of the monarchy. "From a closer distance, it appears even less impressive, like a monster of concrete."

What a psycho! What a poor white trash wanna be. No talent, no taste, no intelligence. First felons batting average as a senior in high school was .056. 1 for 18. If only his life after high school and while in office had a winning percentage that impressive. 8647. Impeach, convict, remove, imprison

I think it has become clear that Trump doesn't care about rules, and the people whose job it is to enforce rules have no interest in doing so anymore.

Never an original thought EVER. Napoleon ordered the construction of the Arc de Triomphe in 1806 to honor the French army after his victory at the Battle of Austerlitz. Although he commissioned the monument, it was not completed until after his death in 1836.

What a loser, has to use replicas of other arches, and make them ugly with gold,and shit Has No class Not an original thought in that syphilis infected, disgusting degenerate, rapists, racist, pedophiles,homophobic,woman fearing, limp fat ass. Release the Epstein files Release the Trumpstein files

NO! NOO! NOOO! NOOOO! NOOOOO! NOOOOOO! NOOOOOOO! NOOOOOOOO! NOOOOOOOOO! NOOOOOOOOOO! NOOOOOOOOOOO! NOOOOOOOOOOOO! NOOOOOOOOOOOOO! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! He is ruining the Peoples House. Don't let the Perverted Prez ruin the People Park!

I'd say "Why doesn't he do something useful?" but frankly if all this dipshit ever did was sit in his office playing with his Fisher-Price Big Boy Builder Blocks, we'd all be so much better off.

Such a copycat. Copying the Arc d’triumph and the Brandenburg Gate? How about a competition among artists with the opportunity for all Americans to cast a vote?

The ranting grandpa was apparently telling the room that the statue on top is “Lady Liberty” but it appears to be a classical Winged Victory, or are they trying to meld the symbolism of “liberty” with “victory in armed struggle”? That seems problematic.

If it is composite, then the “rule of law” in Liberty’s left hand has been replaced with a shield (classical “Victory” is often depicted with a shield that bears the names of heroic individuals that have triumphed in battle).
