Trump now wants his triumphal arch to be 250ft tall, dwarfing other Washington, DC monuments...

President Donald Trump reportedly now wants his proposed “Independence Arch” in Washington, D.C., to soar 250 feet tall, more than twice the height of the Lincoln Memorial and towering over the White House.

Trump has considered smaller versions of the arch, including 165-foot and 123-foot designs that he shared with supporters at a dinner last year. But he has favored the largest option, arguing that its size would leave a lasting impression on visitors to the capital.

Set to rise near the Potomac River, the proposed arch would dramatically outsize both the White House, which stands about 70 feet tall, and the Lincoln Memorial, roughly 100 feet. The Post’s sources said Trump often cites “250 for 250” to justify the height as a tribute to the nation’s milestone anniversary.

3. He's an addle brained toddler

Obsessed with big, shiny (gold) things that are meant to draw attention to himself.
What an absolute embarrassment to America

And sure, let’s waste even MORE taxpayer money on another vanity project.

17. I have a better idea

Build a gas station where they're planning to build Trump's arch. Heavily reinforce the canopy so heavy things can be hung by their feet from it without damage, and brand it "Esso" instead of "Exxon."

If Trump is going to continue to act like Benito Mussolini, we need to prepare to do to Trump what happened to Mussolini - and, right now, there isn't even one Esso station anywhere in the United States.
