Trump appointees green-light his 250-foot 'triumphal arch' amid public backlash. Why is it so big -- and what comes next?

At first, it was supposed to be under 60 feet. Then it grew to 76 feet. Then it shot up to 164 feet and more.

Now the new “triumphal arch” that President Trump wants to build across the Potomac River from the Lincoln Memorial is set to stand 250 feet from bottom to top — making it the tallest in any of the world’s capital cities.

On Thursday, the U.S. Commission of Fine Arts — a federal agency tasked with reviewing the "design and aesthetics" of all construction in Washington, D.C. — considered plans submitted by the president and the U.S. Department of the Interior. Packed with Trump appointees, the panel voted to move ahead with the project (just as they previously did with the president’s new 90,000-square-foot White House ballroom).

“This is personal for the president,” commission chairman Rodney Mims Cook Jr. said at the meeting.

Compensating for something?
