Trump's Triumphal Arch to be Built in Washington DC

President Trump is having a massive arch built in Washington DC in honor of the 250th anniversary of America. 

President Trump posted a rendering by Harrison Design architecture firm that shows a sketch of the stone arch, topped with a golden winged angel and two eagles. 

Earlier this week, a 3D mockup of the arch photographed on Trump’s desk in the Oval Office shows it positioned across the Potomac River in Arlington, Virginia, at a traffic roundabout known as Memorial Circle facing the Lincoln Memorial. 

The arch, resembling Paris’ Arc de Triomphe and the Grand Army Plaza Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Memorial Arch in Brooklyn, which in turn take their designs from arches constructed by the ancient Romans, appears taller than the Lincoln Memorial in the mockup pictured in the Oval Office. Adolf Hitler also created an arch in Germany to honor his conquests. 

The images on the proposed arch are most disturbing. A golden angel holding a flame. A Roman eagle of divine authority. A laurel wreath tied to Apollo and emperor worship. The arch will be placed in a traffic circle designed for constant counterclockwise circumambulation—a ritual act used for millennia around sacred objects and idols. 

Trump’s proposed “Arch of Triumph” mirrors Constantine’s classical arch, signaling a revival of empire, unity, and a conforming religion. Constantine built his triumphal arch to validate his reign and divine sanction. Like Constatine, Trump's declaring that we're entering a "Golden Age".
