Trump says construction of the ‘Triumphal Arch’ to begin in ‘2 months’

The monument would be a centerpiece of the White House’s plans for America’s 250th birthday.

President Donald Trump said in an interview Wednesday that construction of his long-teased Triumphal Arch is expected to begin “sometime in the next two months.”

That would put the start date ahead of July 4, 2026 — as the White House ramps up preparations for the nation’s 250th anniversary next year.

“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.

For the love of sweet jeebus, can Congress or SOMEONE please prevent this from happening BEFORE it starts? The lawsuits and injunctions need to happen NOW!

g0177325: Trump says construction of the ‘Triumphal Arch’ to begin in ‘2 months’

Well, lessee. France designed the Arc de Triomphe in 1806 and was defeated less than a decade later. Then again in 1870 when the German army marched under the Arc de Triomphe after their victory in the Franco-Prussian War. German forces again marched under the arch after their victory over France in the Battle of France during World War II in 1940.

So, yeah, sure. Guess the only difference will be that an American president will be defeating the U.S.

Bread and circuses for the ignorant masses.

Don't forget Trump's plan for a UFC fight on the grounds of the Whitehouse.

It is all such embarrassing bullshit.
