Trump Unveils New ‘Most Beautiful’ New Addition To DC

The arch is designed to resemble the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, France, and it may surpass the Lincoln Memorial in height. According to Breitbart News, the president has indicated a preference for a 250-foot-tall structure in honor of America’s 250th anniversary. The outlet also mentioned in February that the project is expected to be privately funded.

In January, the White House revealed three optional renderings for the project, calling it, “The Independence Arch.”

“The plan indicates the structure would stand between the Lincoln Memorial in the east and Arlington National Cemetery toward the west and within a traffic circle connecting Washington with northern Virginia. The arch would dwarf the Lincoln Memorial, which stands at 99 feet tall (30.2 meters),” the Associated Press reported Friday.
