Plans revealed for a triumphal arch to be built in Washington DC

President Trump has revealed plans to build the archway to celebrate America's 250th birthday next year

US President Donald Trump wants to build a triumphal arch across from the Lincoln Memorial in Washington DC, the latest in his efforts to make over the capital city in his style.

The so-called Arc de Trump would commemorate the country's 250th anniversary next year and is reportedly being privately funded by Trump's supporters.

A real estate developer by trade, Trump teased plans last week with renderings for the structure being laid out during an Oval Office meeting.

His other second-term developments include a gilded makeover for the White House, paving over the Rose Garden and constructing a $250m ballroom, as well as the clearing of homeless encampments throughout the capital.

It looks great.

I'm very much a fan of public works to enhance the public realm, provided they are tasteful and beautiful. Sadly, since the war we've been fed absolute modernist tat and dross in our cities - both in Britain and America, and the wider western world) as opposed to the beauty and elegance our ancestors used to build. This archway is very tasteful and fits the neoclassical theme of America.

Thoughts?
