President Trump has proposed the construction of a 250-foot "Triumphal Arch" on Columbia Island in Washington D.C. to celebrate the 250th anniversary of America's founding. The structure, which would be taller than the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, has faced legal challenges from veterans and historians concerned about traffic and the obstruction of views between the Lincoln Memorial and Arlington National Cemetery. Critics have labeled the project "gauche," comparing it to Trump's previous hotel developments.
