    Good. I hope it’s gigantic. I hope this country never forgets that generations of opulence and greed created this criminal psychopath.

    First the military parades, now this. He thinks he’s giving Napoleon energy when he’s really giving kim family energy, who have their own arch which is :

    The structure is modeled after the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, but is 10 metres (33 ft) taller.

    So you know this arch de trump will be 10 meters higher than Kim’s.

      The parade was a joke and he will never have any arch, don’t stress. He couldn’t even build one wall.

      If I was American, I would be more worried about filling the enormous concrete slab a few years from now.

      The one left where the east wing was.

    Trump doesn’t seem to understand that the existing presidential monuments were built posthumously and by popular opinion in order to honor exceptional leaders. His desperate attempts to plaster his name on random bullshit is pathetic. I hope once he finally kicks the bucket that we quickly rename these monuments to honor his victims. I wish he could be alive to see it.

      Isn’t there some kind of protocol for if the president is unable to perform his duties due to insanity?

        The 25th was written to be used for incapacity, and an insane but active president can defeat it. If his cabinet members declare him incapable, all he has to do is write a letter saying “Nuh-huh, I’m fine” and that’s the end of it. The amendment wasn’t intended to deal with mental illness. More like “POTUS in a coma.”

        If they want him out, they should impeach him.

      That reminder is daily, if not more frequently. So let’s start talking about the people who are ‘pulling the puppet’s strings’.

        String pullers, and those going along with it because they think they’ll get something out of it at the cost of the country’s decline.

        We’re going to need a wall. A long one.

    Yes to this but veto to block a freshwater pipeline for 50,000 residents

      Call me petty, but it was going to red areas of Colorado which voted for him so no real loss at the end of the day.

      Hey, I’ve been reading where a couple 5 pound bags of sugar in a concrete mixer will greatly delay setting, and may or may not significantly compromise the strength. A few liters of cola may be even worse.

    Cai reached Trump by phone at Mar-a-Lago and asked when he expected work to begin.

    “It hasn’t started yet. It starts sometime in the next two months. It’ll be great. Everyone loves it,” replied Trump. “They love the ballroom too. But they love the Triumphal Arch.”

    Super demented

    Trump’s Triumphal arch is a joke, it has no symbolism of any value, where for instance the French “Arc de triomphe de l’Étoile” has double significance as praising the success of the Napoleon army, and as a symbolic memorial place for the unknown soldier, and today it has become a historic landmark.

    What Trump is doing is putting up a huge piece of garbage of no value and slab his own name on it.
    It’s a cheap copy of “the original” in Paris, both in concept and design. Much like a cheap Chinese copy of a Vuitton designer piece.
    Trump has no style and no class, only someone completely without any sense of either could think such a project is cool.
