Donald Trump to build massive gate in Washington in his own honour; Designed by himself, it will be named…
In September, Trump inaugurated the Presidential Walk of Fame outside the West Wing.
New Delhi: US President Doland Trump will build a massive gate in his name in the capital, Washington, D.C., to mark the country’s 250th Independence Day. This monument has been named “Arc de Trump” It will be used to mark the entry into the capital from the state of Virginia.
Trump displays 3 models
Its design resembles the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. Trump also displayed three different-sized models of the monument at the White House on Wednesday, October 15. These included a white arch, marble statues of eagles, and a golden statue of Lady Liberty.
A senior White House official told CNN that the idea for the arch was Trump’s own. Trump was also involved in the design process.
4 km from the White House
The gate, named Arc de Trump, will be built just 4 km from the White House. According to Trump’s plan, it will be built across the Potomac River, facing the Lincoln Memorial.
Washington, D.C., owns land just before the Virginia state border across the Potomac River. This gate will be built on this land. However, it’s unclear when construction will begin or how much it will cost.
Congressional approval is typically required for a new memorial. This involves several steps. It could take years to build, making it unlikely to be ready by next year’s 250th anniversary of Independence.
Trump makes changes to White House
According to an Axios report, Doland Trump has commissioned models of several changes to the White House. He personally decided where and how the new marble tiles would be installed.
Trump has hosted several world leaders, including Finnish President Alexander Stubb and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, to tour the White House. He has shown them the changes made to the White House.
In September, Trump inaugurated the Presidential Walk of Fame outside the West Wing. Here, on a white wall, gold-framed photographs of himself and the other 44 presidents of the United States are hung.
