Anything he slaps his name on can be repaired. Anything he slaps his ugly mug on can be repaired. Rebuilding what he has destroyed, including our military, can not so easily be repaired. The damage to the civil service can not so easily be repaired. The damage to the integrity of federal courts can not be so easily repaired. The Augean stable size filth left behind when he leaves office will be if not a Herculean task, a monumental one.
If it’s to be monumental, then it must be named after him: the Super-Duper Project TrumpErase! Its last act will be to scrub itself and burn all its records lol
Addendum: it’s actually ‘a thing’, known as damnatio memoriae, going back at least to Caracalla attempting to ‘obliterate’ his brother and co-Emperor Geta from history
I think a veteran’s group is suing over this because it will impede the view of Arlington Cemetery. I haven’t any information about whether the suit is still underway or the likelihood of it being successful. I do think a suit over the misappropriation of taxpayer dollars without Congressional approval might have more success.
The so-called arch has set a new low in ugliness and inappropriateness in location, blocking the view from the cemetery and the view from DC toward Virginia. We don't have money for Medicare, Medicaid, child care, or protecting the environment, but we have money for this?
the whole thing makes me sick. Why are their no repubs willing to say this is just wrong. Those that allowed this should be removed from office at the first possible chance.
Repubs have abdicated their fiduciary duty to work for the American people…..and, instead, work for Trump. Since they don’t do their job, they should be FIRED! OUT with them! Vote Blue!
Wonder how many "Hitlerstrasse's there are in Germany these days? Stalingrad, Stalinabad, the Stalin Prize, etc. were all soon renamed, and Uncle Joe got booted out of his comfy spot next to Lenin in his tomb. "Look upon my works, ye mighty, and despair . . ."
" The arch will reportedly be financed with at least $15 million in taxpayer funds."
This plundering of the public purse for Trump's aggrandizement has got to stop. Besides the fact that this Arc du Trump will be an eyesore, it will stand in front of a national cemetery, which is gross and inappropriate. Of course this can be said for everything Trump.
Could shiomeone in authority please advise Trump that he has assured his place as America's most vilified villain. And could they tell him that any structural eleents bearing his name will be razed as a mea culpa to our allies and to the world for our infliction upon them of this truly despicable human?
Further that any involvement of the US treasury in Trump's bitcoin scam will be undone and facilitators will be prosecuted? So if he would like to begin mitigating the disastrous expenditures on his failed $1 billion dollar per day Iran escapade, he will forego the arch, the $400 million dollar "ballroom" and other ostentatious relics he has promoted. He has humuliated our once great nation, has likely cemented in a "toll" on rhe Srait of Hormuz, and has improved Russia's position in the world. And, oh yes, he has sullied the US which for the first and hopefully only time elected to the presidency a 34 time convicted felon and adjudicated fraudster and sexual abuser and with credibly reported involvement in a child sex trafficking operation.
He is sick and sickening. It's a terrible combination of an ego beyond measure but also an ego that is extremely fragile. I really hope his followers/voters will have continuous sleepless nights.

Not to mention our shredded and defiled reputation.
Great comment!

Can someone please take the regime to court for mis-appropriating public funds for the Triumphal Arch vanity project?

Any and all approaches to get this impending behemoth of an eyesore stopped would be a good move.
He's claiming that he'll get the $15 million taxpayers' dollars from the National Endowment for the Arts.
I feel sick. The NEA shouldn't be giving him a penny.

What’s in a name that a Trump building should smell so rank.
Anything named trump is going to smell like someone took a dump in it.
The two words don't rhyme for no reason.

“Fool’s names and fool’s faces are always found in public places.” That was one of my mother’s favorite sayings. Seems particularly appropriate here.
Excuse me, I will be right back to craft a witty comment. Need to go throw up first. Do not wait.

The poor fool has never received a compliment he didn’t extort. His mother must have been an evil witch indeed
His father was worse.

He is SO insane!
It's the only wet dream he has left, if he can even remember such a thing, being as old and demented as he is.

just one more thing we will have to tear down.....
Imagine how much money could be raised by taking donations for the chance to swing a sledge hammer at it the day we tear it down!
