Politics donald trump Washington DC
Donald Trump accidentally said he’s building a Triumphal Ark for the 250th anniversary of the US, and the takedowns were biblical
Earlier this year, the White House confirmed that they would be building the long-rumoured Triumphal Arch, the largest in the world, in Washington DC.
Built to President Trump’s specifications, the Independence Arch would transform a small plot of land between the Lincoln Memorial and Arlington National Cemetery into a dominant new monument.

Here’s how it could look. Our money’s on the gilded monstrosity on the left – only with more bling.

During a speech on Wednesday, Trump was boasting about his planned vanity projects, when he slipped up and went full Noah.

Noah swiped the ARK idea from Trump the great builder.

It's called the Triumphal Arch, not Arc. He's already fucking up another monument name before it's even built.

Umm they already have one in Kentucky, you know where @RepThomasMassie is from the guy who pushed for the release of the Epstein files. Yeah you can see all the animals and everything on the life size Ark. It’s a Bible theme park in Kentucky.

Is it going to rain for 40 days and 40 nights after he gets his Golden Ark built?

He's building an "ark?" Will he be loading his millions two by two?

"Triumphal ark"
It's arch. Did his teleprompter say "arc" or is he just dementia-addled?

We all know he's just DYING to be able to say "Ark de Trump" on TV.
It wouldn't surprise me if that's the ONLY reason he wants the arch … JUST to be able to say that.

Arch. It’s an arch. Ripping off the Arc de Triomphe doesn’t make it an “arc.”

Perhaps Maga thinks it’s short for ‘architectural feature’.
NOW – White House's Leavitt announces that plans to begin construction on Trump's 250-foot United States Triumphal Arch will be submitted tomorrow. pic.twitter.com/lthN5skvnC
