Donald Trump reportedly wants the arch he is planning to build in Washington DC to dwarf the Lincoln Memorial.

The US president envision the planned arch to be a height of 250ft, or significantly taller than the 100ft-tall Lincoln Memorial, the Washington Post reported on Saturday. It would also be significantly taller than Paris’s 164ft-tall Arc de Triomphe – but less than half the height than the Gateway Arch in St Louis, Missouri, the world’s tallest arch.

The Post reported that Trump has his eye on a plot of land near Memorial Bridge over the Potomac River, citing two people who are familiar with the plans and spoke to the outlet on the condition of anonymity.

The latest proposed addition to the Washington skyline comes as Trump is already constructing a new East Wing to the White House containing a ballroom. At 89,000 sq ft, the new ballroom is supposed to be larger than the White House’s 55,000-sq-ft footprint, at the same 70ft height.

    Sure. We can name it the Donald J. Trump Jeffrey Epstein Child Raping and Murdering Memorial Arch… since he’s not being prosecuted - like he should be. I used to be Republican. I left under W. Bush because of the BS Neocon warmongering and eventually became a progressive as I grew older and realized that people’s lives are more important than ideals. I know that’s a loaded statement, but I don’t feel like writing a book to explain it. My only reason for stating that is this: if you’re a Republican and you’ve seen the accusations released in the Epstein files this week and you’re NOT demanding an investigation of EVERY individual that EVER went to an Epstein event of ANY kind - DO NOT LIE TO ME AND CALL YOURSELF A CHRISTIAN, A PATRIOT, OR A GOOD PARENT. Because you are None of the above. If you don’t want Trump investigated after the things he was acused of while Epstein was alive? You’re sick and need to stay away from healthy humans, especially children and babies. Blind support of someone accused of inserting his fingers into little girls to “judge their tightness” is a goddamned mental illness. Maybe he didn’t do it, but we won’t know until he’s investigated fully by a bipartisan 3rd party organization that he isn’t in charge of!
