1/ This is in direct violation of how our government buildings and monuments were designed.

The founding folk wanted a distinctly NON-MONARCHICAL style of architecture and design, to prove to all who could see that the U.S. was a democratic republic, NOT a monarchy.

We want healthcare paid for and food for babies, not monstrosities like this on public land! The man is so needy he is forcing his image on us just like he forced himself on 13 year old girls. Disgusting to a normal person. The President is an abuser and we won't take it.

If he wants to build an arch with private donations, he can build it on private land, not our land

It won't cost much to tear it down. We can get enough private donations to handle that. Maybe replace it with a urinal. At least that'd serve the public good.

What a rip-off of the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. Notice the pedestals at the bases of the structure. Empty in the drawing but will be used to display golden statues of the felon in all his regal, fascist grandeur.

2/ “Plain” style furniture in government buildings. Unadorned classical columns. Un-frilly clothing. Portraits that were NOT bigger than life sized.

They were making a political point.

So is Mad King DJT.

When Trump says things like, “Why don't we have a Triumph arch?” someone in the back needs to say, “Because we're not gaudy assholes?”

Who is paying for this?

It is against the law (under the Anti-Deficiency Act) for federal projects or programs to be funded with private donations. It would also create future federal obligations for maintenance, security, and related costs.

All of that needs to be approved by Congress.
