Trump Unveils Plans for Massive Monument in DC to Honor Our 250th Birthday, Has Fun With Announcement

President Donald Trump unveiled plans for a massive monument to be constructed in honor of America's 250th birthday in Washington, and he made sure to have some fun with the announcement in the classic Trump way we have come to know.

Speaking to donors at a dinner at the White House on Wednesday night, Trump shared the layout and plans for building a giant triumphant arch on the National Mall in Washington, DC.

🚨 WOW! President Trump just showed off to the entire room his plans to build a triumphal arch monument for America's 250th birthday - set to be located near the Arlington Memorial Bridge

Topped with what the president said looked like a winged Lady Liberty and several gold eagles, Trump talked about the arch and how it will mark the 250th anniversary of our country's founding.

Trump then held up a model of the arch monument for those in the room to see and talked about how he was given three different scaled models for the possible project. He then cracked a joke about his making the choice on which one to go with, and wanted to avoid dwarfing other monuments in the city like the Lincoln Memorial.

"That's Lady Liberty on top!" Trump said.

"So, the sizes would be very different," he added, walking over to a rendering of the project and the different-sized arches.

"So, this would be small, medium, and large. Whichever one would look good. I happen to think the large one. Why are you shocked?" Trump said in a crack, drawing laughter in the room.

The news comes following an announcement on X in September from architect Nicolas Leo Charbonneau of Harrison Design about the construction of a possible arch.

The image of the proposed arch was later shared--with no other information--by President Trump on his Truth Social.

Can we just rename Trump the Energizer Bunny? It was just this week that he was in the Middle East signing the historic Gaza-Israel peace deal, before returning home to honor the late Charlie Kirk, awarding him posthumously with the Presidential Medal of Freedom at a White House ceremony on Tuesday. The very next day, he's entertaining donors and talking about his next project to make D.C. beautiful with arch models that he somehow had time to supervise.

The man came into office in January, and in addition to all the policy changes he has enacted that have made America better and safer, there's been a ton of other changes at the White House alone. That includes paying for the construction of not one but two flag poles on the grounds of the White House, which he felt we needed, and the construction of a patio garden in the White House for events, and more.

Lest we overlook the current construction project to build a grand ballroom on the White House grounds. The president has continued on his promise to Make America Great Again, and we love it. Thanks!
