Trump's 'Triumphal Arch' approved
The project has drawn sharp criticism from architects and political opponents who have labeled the design as 'tacky' and 'un-American.' Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel mocked the plan, pointing out that the original French arch honors generals who died for their country, while Trump's version appears to be a 'vanity project.' Despite the backlash, the administration insists the arch will serve as a symbol of national unity and strength.
The approval comes with several caveats regarding the monument's location and its impact on the historic skyline of the nation's capital.
