Yup he’s planning one like Hitler.
Time for him to be removed..
Hitlers Arch….
There is no built "German Arc de Triomphe," but a monumental but unbuilt one was planned by Nazi Germany and several other German triumphal arches exist, such as the Siegessäule (Victory Column) in Berlin and the Siegestor (Victory Gate) in Munich. The planned German arch, designed to be twice the size of the Paris Arc de Triomphe, was part of a larger Nazi plan to re-design Berlin after an expected victory in World War II.
The unbuilt Nazi-era arch:
Proposed by Albert Speer, this arch would have been significantly larger than its Parisian inspiration, standing at 400 feet high. A large concrete cylinder called the Schwerbelastungskörper was built in Berlin between 1941 and 1942 to test the ground for this massive monument, but the project was never completed.
The Siegestor (Victory Gate) in Munich:
Built in the 19th century, this arch was inspired by Roman and Parisian triumphal arches. It was originally erected to honor the Bavarian army and has since been transformed into a symbol of peace.
The Siegessäule (Victory Column) in Berlin:
This column was inaugurated in 1873 to commemorate Prussian victories. It features a statue of the goddess Victoria at the top and is a landmark in Berlin's Tiergarten park.
German presence at the Paris Arc de Triomphe:
During the German occupation of Paris in World War II, Nazi troops marched through the city and the German flag was flown from the top of the French Arc de Triomphe.
Trumps plan……
President Donald Trump recently unveiled plans for a monument called the
Independence Arch, a triumphal arch to be built near the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C., to commemorate America's 250th anniversary in July 2026.
Key details about the project:
Design and location: The proposed classical-style arch, which has been dubbed the "Arc de Trump," is inspired by Paris's Arc de Triomphe. It would be built in a traffic circle at Memorial Circle, across the Potomac River from the Lincoln Memorial at the entrance to Arlington Memorial Bridge. Models shown by Trump depict the monument with marble eagle statues and a golden winged figure.
Funding: Trump stated that leftover funds from a new White House ballroom project would help finance the arch, though the total cost is not yet known.
Timeline: The plan calls for the monument to be completed by July 4, 2026, for the nation's 250th anniversary.
Trump's involvement: According to a White House official, Trump personally developed the design and has been involved throughout the process. When asked who the arch was for, Trump replied, "Me".
Historical context: This is not the first proposal for an arch at this location. In 1902, the National Park Service planned a triumphal arch to honor President Ulysses S. Grant, but it was never built.
