“The arch is just one of Trump's controversial projects to give Washington DC a makeover in his signature style, with his plans for a White House ballroom currently caught up in a legal battle.”
INSUFFICIENT EVIDENCE
“The monument, if approved, would be taller than the US Capitol building and the Lincoln Memorial.”
INSUFFICIENT EVIDENCE
“The White House has not shared information on how the arch will be funded. Trump has previously said that since his ballroom project was 'fully financed', some of the leftover money would be used to fund the arch.”
INSUFFICIENT EVIDENCE
“When the president announced the project last year, he said he wanted the arch to be based on the Arc de Triomphe in France, and for it to welcome people into the nation's capital from Arlington National Cemetery as they cross the Memorial Bridge into the city.”
INSUFFICIENT EVIDENCE
“The renderings of the arch depict gold inscription that say 'One Nation Under God', topped with two gold eagles and a golden-winged Lady Liberty. The base would have statues of gold lions.”
