This is mad emperor shit. It will be fun to watch it implode when the next administration tears it down, though.

I think it's being blocked by a lawsuit by veterans' groups as a desecration of Arlington National Cemetery --among many other reasons. And we're now in mid-April; you're not going to get anything that humongous built before July 4th as he demanded. Pure fantasy.

Before July 4th?!? Sure Donny, we'll get that done right away sir.

It's Hitler's Germania all over. No other idea besides making it big and adding gold to it.

I think about the genuine cathartic joy people will feel watching the crowds erect ladders to rip Trump's name off the Kennedy Center

Surely, we have enough money to build these monuments of American superiority AND take care of our infrastructure, healthcare and housing for our citizens, and feeding and educating our children? Anybody?

It's amusing because if you look at Harrison Design's portfolio, most of their other stuff is just normal design/architectural work.

This gaudy monstrosity is an outlier.

Wouldn’t that violate height restrictions in DC (no building may be higher than the capitol)?

Don’t you have to triumph over something to put up a triumphal arch?
So far, Trump is just a loser.

Still hoping for a Spinal Tap moment, although regrettably they appear to have in fact used ' on the drawing.

I really do hope he pulls this one off just so we can blow it the fuck up to launch Truth and Reconciliation proceedings.

Considering he wants to steal $2 million from the NEH to help fund it, I would prefer it not get built in the first place.

But this thing will never be built as shown. It’s 50% taller than the Arch in Paris ffs

Plus there's no way they're getting it done by Jan 2027. Dems controlling the house, possibly Senate, would (I hope) stop its construction.

You know ... if DC needed an Arc, someone would have already built one. Donny just can't leave anything alone - he's got to fuck with everything.

The frustrating thing is I really wish we did build more monumental architecture but this not at all the person or the way to do it.

It's ugly, it's ridiculous, and it makes Albert Speer's plans for "Germania" look modest in comparison. Luckily he will probably get about as far as Speer did.

First use case of AI video that I would consider supporting, would be a video of that thing being imploded.

And then a real video of someone showing it to him.

Hopefully they will build in explosives into the foundation and supports so that when it’s time to get rid of it, it won’t cost us any more money.
