Other than the President & those who parrot whatever he says, is there anyone who has ever expressed a desire for this? I’m sure that supporters of the President will say they want it, but did anyone express a wish for this other than the President PRIOR to his expressing his desire? Bc A LOT OF PEOPLE don’t want it, including a veterans group that is suing the administration to stop it bc of how it will ruin the sight line btwn Arlington and the Lincoln monument. It will be an oversized monstrosity that is a monument to the President’s monstrous ego. In what way—objectively & not in his or his supporters’ imaginations—has the President triumphed?

@KathrynMathias1 Putting up monuments to yourself sounds narcissistic. The kind of packaging that marks a very hollow core. And it’s tacky as hell.

How much money has been spent on vanity projects? Many people have lost their healthcare... ...even allocating a small fraction of this money could expand healthcare access, secure essential services, and reduce economic hardship for millions.

Why is Trump giving a no-bid contract to a company that is majority owned by a South Korean firm? South Korea-based construction management firm HanmiGlobal owns majority stake in Portland-based Otak. America First?

He’s more than likely planning to use that as his headstone. Not to be morbid, but it’s at the front entrance of the cemetery, and he’s no spring chicken. So, if he moved the cemetery’s boundaries, I’d guess he’s doing some after-death planning with his family. He would have a more prominent spot than "JFK"

The Trump administration says it plans to break ground within two weeks on a 250-foot triumphal arch just beyond the gates of Arlington National Cemetery. The proposed arch would rise more than twice the height of the Lincoln Memorial, and critics say it would disrupt historic site lines intended to symbolize the nation’s reconciliation after the Civil War. Three Vietnam veterans who have filed a federal lawsuit seeking to stop the project asked a judge Friday to block the administration from breaking ground while their case proceeds. Geoff Bennett spoke with retired Army Maj. Gen. Paul Eaton of VoteVets, a veterans organization supporting the lawsuit.

Trump’s proposed 250 ft. vanity arch is illegal, wildly narcissistic, and would only make traffic gridlock worse. Even National Park Service acknowledges the project would disrupt Arlington National Cemetery. This monstrosity must be stopped and I’m fighting to make sure it is.

President Donald Trump's plan for a 250-foot triumphal arch in the Washington, D.C., area moved one step closer to reality Thursday. The U.S. Commission on Fine Arts, whose members were entirely appointed by Trump, approved the design for the arch set to be constructed on a traffic circle between the Lincoln Memorial and Arlington National Cemetery. After a reporter told Trump about the commission's vote, the president called the result "fantastic." The 250-foot arch project is one of several the president has pursued to leave his mark on the nation's capital. A group of Vietnam War veterans is seeking to block the arch's construction with a lawsuit. The veterans argue that according to the Commemorative Works Act of 1986, building the arch requires authorization from Congress. Trump, on the other hand, told reporters Thursday that the land is owned by the Interior Department. "We don't need anything from Congress," he said.

Donald Trump wants to spend millions of taxpayer dollars building a monument to himself at the entrance to Arlington National Cemetery, where generations of America's fallen heroes have been laid to rest. Today I stood with two veterans whose families are buried at Arlington to say what Republicans on the Appropriations Committee refused to: this is a desecration of our most hallowed ground, and it has to be stopped.

Some arcs go back over 1,000 years, and it's called a triumphal arc. Reporter: You need Congress to sign off on it. Trump: No we don't. No. We're doing it.
