President Trump and the Department of Interior will submit plans for the United States triumphal arc, which will be an architectural masterpiece to celebrate our history right here in Washington, DC. This is a rendering of the arc for you. Thank you, Peter. It's quite beautiful, as you can see. Yeah, well, it really captured his spirit. Why is he saying arc? It's in America we pronounce it arch, but it's an idea Trump lifted from the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, which was commissioned to honor French war heroes. The Arc de Triomphe has the names of generals who fought and died for France and graved on its face. Ours will have the name of the draft dodger who killed America on it.
