Construction of 250-feet-tall "Arc de Trump" set to begin in D.C.

“The construction of a 250‑foot‑tall arch in Washington, D.C., nicknamed the "Arc de Trump", is set to begin, funded by private donors and intended as a monument to former President Trump. The project is expected to create temporary construction jobs and could become a tourist attraction, but its overt political symbolism may polarize residents and influence the city’s tourism dynamics. Expert Analysis: The arch’s high‑profile build may set a precedent for politically themed public monuments, potentially increasing municipal spending on heritage projects and reshaping local real‑estate markets in the capital.”
