Donald Trump has officially submitted plans for his 250-foot Triumphal Arch with new renderings showing the fixture towering over the nation's capital.
Proposals filed Friday suggested that the so-called 'Arc de Trump' will be built near the Arlington National Cemetery across the river from the Lincoln Memorial.
The monument was designed by the architectural firm Harrison Design and will be made almost entirely of white stone with intricate golden detailing.
According to ABC News, an inscription across the top will read 'One Nation Under God' underneath a golden statue of a winged Lady Liberty. Two golden eagles sit at either side.
Among other accents are four gold lions seated at the base. Mockups appeared to show a staircase climbing up the pedestal, possibly leading to a viewing deck for visitors.
Trump announced his grand plans in a Truth Social post on Friday, noting that proposals for the arch had officially been put through after months of delays.

Good number.
That’s great, I’ll donate to it’s construction. When are the judges going to start telling him he can’t do that?
90 feet taller than the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, nice!
It's already fully funded by leftover private donations for Trump's ballroom.
Wow. The arch of Constantine is just 69 ft tall.
He’s getting pushback (lawsuit filed in Feb) from some veterans’ groups. (who don’t like Trump). They claim it will destroy the sight line between Arlington Cemetery and Lincoln Memorial.
It looks nice on the drawings.
Heads’ll be a’poppin’!
Based on the map it doesn't.
The third pic has north on the top. You can see the cemetery to the south of the E/W road directly between the arch and Lincoln.
So anywhere you stand in Arlington grounds, the arch will be to the left of the Memorial.
I wonder what else isn’t happening
The Arc de Triomphe 164’
Brandenburg Gate 85.3’
Trump Arch 250’
Nice!
Let stop spending Money we dont have and
Focus on the economy , gas prices , Wall Street, and inflation
and not Pricey Flashy Monuments to Trump.
I forgot one....
The pyramid of Khufu at Giza, Egypt, is the world’s tallest. Also known as the Great Pyramid, it was 146.7 m (481 ft 3 in) high when completed around 4,500 years ago, but erosion and vandalism have reduced its height to 137.5 m (451 ft 1 in) high today.
Privately funded bump
It’s a beaut!
> Let stop spending Money we dont have… <
I’m with you on that. The article is not clear as to where the money will come from.
From the article:
“The National Endowment for the Humanities released a spending plan that suggested the arch would be at least partially funded by taxpayers’ dollars.”
Suggested? That’s rather vague. Are they just guessing?
Great idea the UK Daily Mail came up with it’s the first and maybe the only one they have?.
Especially one that looks like a Temu Brandenburg Gate
Just make sure it meets 100 year seismic standards for the area.
