'Wasteful, gaudy, disruptive': Massive scale of Trump's arch would radically alter DC
President Donald Trump's enormous triumphal arch took a step closer to reality after its early designs received approval from his handpicked fine arts commission, and CNN's Tom Foreman revealed how the massive structure would dwarf its surroundings in the nation's capital.
The 79-year-old president has proposed a towering, 250-foot arch, modeled after the 164-foot Arc de Triomphe in Paris, in honor of the country’s semiquincentennial, and its imposing scale would be twice as tall as the Lincoln Memorial, nearly as tall as the Capitol and potentially interfere with flight paths around Washington Reagan National Airport.
