Donnie has the country in the ditch .
That’s one of the reason why
the midterms will be worse than his 2018 wipe out.
And Donnie wants to build a monument to Himself illegally .
Trump can’t bult this period without going thru a 4 step process.
1. Lack of Final NCPC Approval
The National Capital Planning Commission (NCPC)—one of the key federal agencies that must approve major changes to government property in D.C.—has only given preliminary approval for the arch. The administration announced plans to begin excavation work at Memorial Circle, leading to a federal judge ordering a 48-hour notice requirement for any activity beyond archaeological test pits, as final approval from the planning commission is still pending. [1, 2, 3, 4]
2. Fast-Tracking the Historic Preservation Review
Under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act, the government is legally required to assess how a project impacts historic and cultural sites. A National Park Service (NPS) assessment acknowledged that the massive arch would have “adverse effects” on dozens of surrounding historic sites (such as obscuring the historic sightline between the Lincoln Memorial and Arlington House). Preservation groups and local officials argue that the administration has flouted the intent of the law by rushing the review, giving local stakeholders only a few days to sign a memorandum of agreement to expedite the final decision. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
3. Sidestepping Congress (The Commemorative Works Act)
Opponents, including a group of Vietnam War veterans who filed a lawsuit, argue that the project violates the Commemorative Works Act. This law dictates that any monument or memorial built on federal land in or near D.C. requires explicit congressional authorization and funding approvals. President Trump has asserted that congressional permission is unnecessary because the land is directly controlled by the Department of the Interior. [1, 2, 3]
4. Aviation Space Constraints
Because the 250-foot structure sits less than two miles from a runway at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA), it triggered a mandatory safety evaluation. While the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) recently cleared the arch, noting it poses no direct hazard to air travel if outfitted with red obstruction lights, critics and pilots note that putting a permanent 250-foot obstruction in an active commercial flight path stretches standard airspace safety norms.
