Trump doubles the size of his bigly fugly yuge bullsh*t "Golden Arch" to 250 feet, continues to not do any presidentin' [View all]

Trump, 79, has been planning to build a large golden arch, mirroring the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, that will overlook the Potomac River in Arlington, Virginia. The area is already filled with iconic landmarks, including Arlington National Cemetery, and the National Mall just across the river in D.C.

Trump has been shown several versions of the arch, including 165-foot and 123-foot designs, according to the Washington Post.

But the president is now favoring the largest model at 250 feet, liking the fact that its size could impress visitors to the nation’s capital. Insiders also told the Post that “250 for 250” made the most sense to Trump, referring to the nation’s 250th anniversary this year.
