Trump’s Triumphal Arch Wins Approval From Key Committee

President Donald Trump scored a major victory Thursday after a federal arts commission approved plans for his proposed 250-foot “America250” triumphal arch in Washington, D.C.

The approval advances one of the most ambitious monument projects in modern American history despite fierce opposition from Democrats, preservation activists, and much of the media.

The Commission of Fine Arts voted 4-0 to approve the massive structure, which Trump has described as a centerpiece celebration of America’s 250th anniversary and a symbol of renewed national pride.
