Trumps chair of the Commission of Fine Arts wants the president to dramatically expand his plans to build tacky monuments to himself across the nations capital.
I think the president should do three, Rodney Mims Cook Jr. told the Washington Post of the White Houses existing plans to build a 250-foot Arch de Trumpmodeled loosely on Frances Arc de Triomphenear Arlington National Cemetery in Washington, D.C.
Cook says hes already picked out two other prospective locations in the southeast of the city, near the John Philip Sousa Bridge and the Frederick Douglass Memorial Bridge, even though the commission has not yet approved plans for the first.
The panel convenes Thursday to review proposals for the monument, on which the White House is aiming to begin construction later this year to mark the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.

Its like being in a horror movie which just keeps getting worse and worse as well as more and more absurdist and surrealistic. Its like Cocteau meets Stephen King.

I'm not against classical arches in principle (the planned one for Salt Lake City that's supposed be finished in about seven to ten years is kinda cool looking), but he needs a better reason other than "I just want one...or three....or ten of them."
