President Donald Trump on Friday teased a truly monumental change to Washington, D.C.
The former real estate tycoon has already launched construction on a massive new White House ballroom and redecorated the Oval Office in gold, but floated yet another idea in a wordless social media post shared shortly after midnight — a colossal new landmark.
Trump shared an artist’s rendering on his Truth Social platform depicting a “triumphal arch” across from the Lincoln Memorial, which shows the nonexistent monument built on a roundabout known as Memorial Circle — with an expectedly golden angel statue perched on top.
The rendering appeared to be from the architecture firm Harrison Design. Nicolas Leo Charbonneau, a partner and principal at the company, shared the same rendering back in September.
“A proposal for a triumphal arch in DC for #America250, in the traffic circle in front of Arlington National Cemetery,” Charbonneau wrote at the time on X. “America needs a triumphal arch!”
