A 250-foot vanity project near Arlington National Cemetery is an insult to every soldier buried there. Trump himself said the arch is for "me" — not for veterans, not for America. Victory arches belong to dictators and emperors, not democracies, and planting one where Lincoln's memory meets the graves of war heroes is a desecration dressed up in gold leaf.
Great nations build monuments that endure, and the United States Triumphal Arch will do exactly that — inspiring children and grandchildren for generations to come. Marking 250 years of American independence with a landmark structure is exactly the kind of bold, lasting national pride the country deserves. This arch isn't about one person; it's a permanent testament to the American spirit.
