The White House has unveiled plans for a gold-accented giant victory arch dubbed the “Arc de Trump”, that US President Donald Trump wants built in Washington. The 250-foot (76m) monument, if approved, would be taller than the US Capitol building and the Lincoln Memorial, and feature a golden Lady Liberty-like torch and crown. It will be “the GREATEST and MOST BEAUTIFUL Triumphal Arch, anywhere in the World’, Trump wrote on social media. “This will be a wonderful addition to the Washington DC area for all Americans to enjoy for many decades to come!” The arch is just one of Trump’s controversial efforts to reshape Washington’s landscape and faces legal hurdles similar to his new ballroom project.
