100 Percent Fed Up By Donald
President Trump’s plan to build a towering Triumphal Arch at the gateway to the nation’s capital just cleared its first major federal hurdle.
On Thursday morning, the U.S. Commission of Fine Arts voted to approve the concept design for the 250-foot gilded arch, which the Trump administration wants to erect in time for America’s 250th birthday.

The phrases “One Nation Under God” and “Liberty and Justice for All” are to be inscribed in gold lettering atop either side of the monument.
At 250 feet, the arch will be roughly two and a half times the height of the Lincoln Memorial (99 feet) and nearly as tall as the U.S. Capitol. It will sit on Columbia Island — a human-made island in the Potomac River near the Arlington Memorial Bridge — serving as a grand gateway from Arlington National Cemetery into the District.
