Donald Trump reportedly wants the arch he is planning to build in Washington DC to dwarf the Lincoln Memorial.
The US president envision the planned arch to be a height of 250ft, or significantly taller than the 100ft-tall Lincoln Memorial, the Washington Post reported on Saturday. It would also be significantly taller than Paris’s 164ft-tall Arc de Triomphe – but less than half the height than the Gateway Arch in St Louis, Missouri, the world’s tallest arch.
The Post reported that Trump has his eye on a plot of land near Memorial Bridge over the Potomac River, citing two people who are familiar with the plans and spoke to the outlet on the condition of anonymity.
The latest proposed addition to the Washington skyline comes as Trump is already constructing a new East Wing to the White House containing a ballroom. At 89,000 sq ft, the new ballroom is supposed to be larger than the White House’s 55,000-sq-ft footprint, at the same 70ft height.
Futurama almost got it right.
As a voter and a taxpayer, I’m waiting on some important concessions before I can support this. Were Trump, for example, hoisted in front of the arch by a crane and dropped from the top into an inflatable kiddie pool filled with cottage cheese, this could become an important and beautiful landmark for D.C.
And the stories you could tell your grandkids.
“I was there, I got a little cottage cheese on me.”
It’s not the best idea, since it’s completely indistinguishable from the contents of his head.

You know what? I can get behind a tyrannical triumphal arch in DC. If a president ever turns tyrant, we can hang them from it, Mussolini-style.
If?
Whoosh.
Ain’t nothing wrong with a traditional gas station forecourt.
I think it’d be better without the kiddie pool
But then where would you put the cottage cheese?
Damn good point
Cottage cheese is nasty. Skip that too.
But that’s the whole point. You won’t be the one covered in cottage cheese.
I would not even wish cottage cheese on my worst enemy. It is a ln abomination of dairy product.
I’m all for it, except without the kiddie pool.
TACO Don barely finished a wall, barely finished that white house construction, continues to just spend American dollars and put this country more into debt.
that barely finished white house construction is already in the middle of building a billion dollar underground bunker able to with stand nukes and a angry mob for the current furher
Wouldn’t it just be easier to send the National Guard to St. Louis to procure their arch?
Sir, may I have just one teensy crumb of healthcare?
Best I can do is have you lie down in a ditch and die
How much is my copay?
All of it
copayI receive: All of your money
You receive: A slow, miserable death
So basically, regular USA.
Can confirm
Ditches aren’t free, you know.
Though if you insist I guess I could rent you a shovel.
If your country’s poverty rate isn’t zero and you rely on deficit spending, you cannot afford an arch. At this point we should be selling monuments to pay for healthcare!
This sounds like a Tropico voice line.
Not a surprise to anyone. Even if it said trump reportedly wants a 250ft penis errected and named trumps boner, that would be no surprise. What I am surprised by is that he hasn’t demolished mt Rushmore to put his face there yet.
He’s sending a message. He has no intention of leaving power, and his family will rule us for a long time.
Yeah, why help struggling Americans when he can waste money on dumb shit like this?
What’s wild is that he sicced an “investigation” on the Fed over their reconstruction.
See this irks me, because if I was in charge, I’d want to spur the economy by building giant cool shit too. Course, I’m thinking more like the Colossus of Rhodes, or those two giant mountain king statues from LOTR (Argonath). But anything that could be seen as a monument to this absolute vile traitor, is too much. After he’s imprisoned and dies his pathetic lil death, that name should be stripped from all records, buildings, everything. His name, forever synonymous with a repulsive pathetic evil clown.
He hasn’t even built that stupid ballroom that he tore down like 1/3 of the White House to force funding for. One boondoggle at a time dumbass.
If that thing gets built, I look forward to it getting dynamited by the next administration. :)
Just make it a public toilet
To put in context, 250 feet is a 25 story building vs the 10 story building the Lincoln Memorial is.
Or about 75 m
How many football fields is that
It’s about 1,091 Big Macs.
Approximately 37.86 bald eagle wingspans or 326.09 Apple pie diameters.
Can I get that in bananas?
It’s in the neighborhood of Apple pie diameters. ~394.
About 15 half-giraffes.
My answer is No, unless we can use it to hang the MAGA traitors when this is over.
