My husband who sleeps in Arlington he serve Marines for 30 years I don’t think he wants that there! I know he wants to sleep peacefully with his troops

The Jeffrey Epstein memorial Arch is a monument to the wealth that trump and his buddies are taking from the US and its people and the destruction he is in the process of causing.

Trump is literally trying to build a victory arch while actively losing a war that he doesn’t want anyone to call a war.

Some day Trump's name will be scrubbed off every public place.

He is trying to build all this stuff to setup a fortress because he doesn't plan on giving up power after his term is up. That's why Hegseth is getting rid of generals and admirals so no one can stop them. It's all there!

If you’re tired of this craziness and dysfunction in Washington, vote blue up and down the ballot and encourage your friends and family to canvass for James Talarico in TX, Sherrod Brown in OH, Roy Cooper in NC, Josh Turek in IA, Mary Peltola in AK, Troy Jackson in Maine, Jon Ossoff in GA, Abdul El-Sayed in MI, or if you live in other states, please donate to their campaigns because Trump and Musk's super PACs are spending millions already in competitive races. 💙💙

If its not called A WAR then the VETERANS don't get the BENEFITS.
He needs the money for this arch

Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't triumphal arches for the triumphant winners, not the complete and absolute losers...?

Inappropriate? Look at the artist renderings then pull out a history book & look at 1930's Germany! It's exactly the same design as it was then!!🤬

He should build a giant diaper. He could easily fill it.

Trump's good at interrupting peace.

No one wants this awful arch. The people have spoken. No Arch.

This is all Trump is worried about instead of trying to fix the economy

@olorin4317 13 hours ago

Is Trump the first world leader to want a giant vanity arch since H*tler? No doubt, someone will still say that even real life is an unfair comparison.

Trump seems to like socialism when it serves him; Taxpayers would be better served if he just bought McDonald's Corp so he could have Arches across the land and all of the wrappers could include his name in faux gold.

Trump is America's "arch" enemy.

Any American who has visited Arlington, or any national cemetery, knows that “triumphal” completely contradicts the serious and somber nature these sacred places invoke.
