  1. The arch near Arlington Cemetery is over the line… and I hope those Vietnam vets mark it zero.

  2. This is horrendous. Especially for someone never having served in the military. Giving me vibes of “The Great Leader”. My parents are buried there. They would be disgusted with this.

    Just another example how Trump doesn’t give a shit about veterans, especially those who died.

  5. Just remember, this will give guys a convenient place for a pit stop before continuing on to the resting place of their loved ones.

  6. Trump has gone full on megalomaniac. Demolishing the east wing of the White House in order to build a bunker under a gaudy ballroom. Putting his name on the Kennedy Centre. This monstrosity of a triumphial arch. At this point I wouldn’t put it past Trump to replace the statue of Abraham Lincoln from the Lincoln monument with a statue of himself. I hope the veterans win their case and put some limits on Trump’s self-agrandizement.

  7. My Father and Mother are both buried there so are two of my high school buddies. Trump’s Hitler’s Arch is an abomination

  8. Dude is determined to leave nothing untouched. Just ruin everything. Apparently half the country is all for it too. Hard to comprehend

    Can anyone verify if we did this much effort to create a physical legacy DURING the current presidency vs afterwards like Lincoln?

    A draft dodger putting a victory arch for himself near Arlington should be a non-starter. It’s an insult to every hero buried there.

  11. Given Trump can’t even get along with the Pope, at this point I won’t be surprised at all to see him shit on a bunch of Vietnam vets…

    What the fuck is this shit they’re shoving down our throats? What the fuckity fuck has that pedophile slob done for America? Get the righteous fuck outta here. Holy fucking shit.

    If this ever gets built(doubtful)it will be so satisfying watching it being demolished.

    Trump is a smack in the face to any veteran. These poor kids on deployment right now don’t even have toilets to shit in. Let alone a righteous war. Meanwhile your “commander in chief” door dashes McDonald’s and fucking ruins the economy for generations to come. If I had one good word of advice for active service members I would discharge until the corruption and all three branches of government were fired. It’s fucking wild how blind the US has become.

  15. This needs to be dismantled the moment the next dem president gets into office. I don’t care if it’s a waste of money, is getting rid of a dictator’s statue after he gets deposed a waste of money?

  16. Sorry that just doesn’t seem right with his 5 draft deferments and his comments about John McCain.
