Trump administration unveils 250-foot 'Triumphal Arch' design

Trump has previously said that since his ballroom project was "fully financed", some of the leftover money would be used to fund the arch.The renderings of the arch depict gold inscription that say "One Nation Under God", topped with two gold eagles, and guarded by statues of four gold lions.The arch will serve "as a visual reminder of the noble sacrifices borne by so many American heroes throughout our 250-year history so we can enjoy our freedoms today", White House spokesman Davis Ingle said in a statement.When the president announced the project last year, he said he wanted the arch to be based on the Arc de Triomphe in France, and for it to welcome people into the nation's capital from Arlington National Cemetery as they cross the Memorial Bridge into the city."Every time somebody rides over that beautiful bridge to the Lincoln Memorial, they literally say something is supposed be here," Trump said last year when he first announced his plans for the arch.The arch is another example of the president's makeover efforts in the US capital. Besides the ballroom project and extensive interior design changes at the White House, the administration also plans to close the Kennedy Center for large scale renovations.The performing arts venue, which has been rechristened to include Trump's name, will close for two years in July.
