They want to call it the Trump promenade.”"I don't know if I want to do that, but it's going to be beautiful," Trump continued. “At the Lincoln Memorial, the front was supposed to be the back, and the back was supposed to be the front. [The promenade] never got built, because they built two roadways behind it.”Trump's latest announcement is part of a broader push to reshape Washington's monumental core. He also plans to erect a 250-foot (76-meter) arch and to build a 90,000-square-foot ballroom at the site of the demolished East ​Wing of the White ​House.In fullTrump bizarrely claims Lincoln Memorial is facing the wrong way as he floats latest icon upgradeThank you for registeringPlease refresh the page or navigate to another page on the site to be automatically logged inPlease refresh your browser to be logged in
