I don’t like the arch either.
I'm still thinking it over. Many (all?) great civilizations have erected a classical arch. The artist representation labels it "The Independence Arch." I like that.

One could negatively classify The Statue of Liberty as 'gaudy' or ostentatious - but thoughtful people weren't so judgmental back then. It was a gift and people were appreciative.

I believe the ballroom or anything else Trump backs just brings out the TDS in some people. A sign of the times in this internet world.

Okay, okay, the Egyptians did pyramids instead of arches......Or did they do arches, too?

I think the gold looks ostentatious. I would like the inscription to say “Portal for Democrats to go to France”. Democrats should go join the Jacobins.

It looks like a detail AI would add if you asked it to create a render of an Independence Arch.
