It seems Donald Trump already has plans for his next construction project following the completion of the ballroom he’s replaced the East Wing of the White House with. Next on the list is what he’s calling the “Arc de Trump,” a monument that would connect the Arlington Cemetery to the US Capitol building—and cost $100M. Keep reading for more information.
An insider speaking to Axios, Trump is full speed ahead on this project, and reportedly is privately funding the project. “It’s what he’s talking about,” the insider said. “There’s a small arch. A middle arch. A large arch. And he likes the large one, of course, as long as it’s big and gold and white.”
His plans are to have the arch unveiled for the 250th anniversary of the United States, which falls in July 2026. The monument would sit in the middle of the Memorial Circle roundabout, opposite from the Lincoln Memorial and facing the White House.
Speaking back in October, Trump said, “Every time somebody rides over that beautiful bridge to the Lincoln Memorial, they literally say something is supposed to be here,” and even showed a few different mockups of the proposed arch.
