$15 million?

It'll somehow cost $15 billion if it's ever finished. With 10 billion going into El Presidenté's private account.

“You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all the people some of the time, which is just long enough to be president of the United States”. Spike Milligan, 2014. He was talking about Nixon, but it seems more relevant today

It commemorates Trump & Co’s triumph over democracy, the rule of law, and freedom of the press. Not to mention norms, tradition, and common decency.

Hitler‘s triumphal arch in Germania (formerly Berlin) was meant to be 117m high, so I guess Trump could do better.

That Trump actually, really, won the 2020 election. Probably

I suppose it’s technically supposed to celebrate the 250 anniversary but mainly it celebrates Trump

Classic mad emperor style - first design your arch, then invade a much smaller country that's already a basket case. Declare victory!
Then parade through it (Hegseth better have those troops marching smartly this time!) and
"MUM! WHY'S 'E GOT NO CLOTHES ON?!?"

It will celebrate the victory over MAGA - when we demolish it with C4.

Maybe its a triumph monument for successfully postponed release of #Epstein files?

I occasionally have to drive through that area to get into DC. It's a big traffic circle. Construction there would be a major hassle. But when you're at ground level there, you realize that any structure, even a small one, will wreck the sight lines of the city.
