Trump's Latest Vanity Project Should Never Happen

We’re learning more about the monument Trump wants to build in honor of himself, a giant arch that American taxplayers happen to be paying for, although now no one is sure how much the thing will cost. There are finally some drawings, and man, this thing is ugly, even by Trump standards. Originally, the arch was supposed to be 165 feet tall, but thanks to the addition of the terrifyingly huge, golden 24-foot eagles and a 60-foot-tall Lady Liberty, it’s now going to be 250 feet tall at the highest point, dwarfing the 99-foot-high Lincoln Memorial. But wait! There’s more gold. Four golden lions, to be precise, and “One Nation Under God” inscribed in gold. Though Trump has previously said that the arch is literally for him, one of his spokespeople is now saying that the arch will be “a visual reminder of the noble sacrifices borne by so many American heroes throughout our 250-year history so we can enjoy our freedoms today.”read more
