Concerns Over Donald Trump's Arch of Triumph
There are complications with America's republican tradition, particularly when it comes to the president's need to boast.
The President of the United States, Donald Trump, has expressed interest in building an Arch of Triumph, showcasing renderings and models similar to France's Arc de Triomphe.
'Small, medium and large—whichever one, they look good,' Mr. Trump said, holding out the models. 'I happen to think the larger one looks, by far, the best'
Trump's vision includes a winged statue of Lady Liberty, but details on funding and compliance with federal law are unclear.
