Trump unveils 250-foot Arc de Trump plan for Memorial Circle

The Trump administration released new renderings for a 250-foot Arc de Trump at Memorial Circle, featuring a 60-foot golden Lady Liberty and a viewing deck, with “One Nation Under God” across the top. The plan, submitted to the Commission of Fine Arts ahead of an April 16 meeting, follows Trump’s dismissal of CFA members and comes amid separate NCPC approval but a district court ruling keeping the project in limbo. Officials say costs are still being calculated and funding will be a mix of public and private sources, with the arch sited near Arlington National Cemetery to honor American sacrifices.

Renderings Unveiled for Trump's 250-Foot Triumph Arch

Official renderings were released for President Trump's proposed 250-foot triumphal arch near Arlington National Cemetery, across the Potomac from the Lincoln Memorial, with a design featuring a white arch, a gilded Statue of Liberty, the words 'One Nation Under God' and four golden lions. The project is to be reviewed by the Commission of Fine Arts on April 16 and has faced lawsuits from Vietnam War veterans and a historian, though a federal judge declined to block it. Critics describe it as a taxpayer-funded vanity project while supporters frame it as part of the 250th anniversary celebration.

Arts Panel Pushes for Record-Sized 24K Trump Coin

A seven-member Commission of Fine Arts voted to urge the Treasury to mint a 24-karat gold commemorative coin featuring Donald Trump and to make it as large as possible, potentially up to three inches in diameter, after Trump approved the design. The Treasury will make the final call on the coin's specs after consultations with the CFA and the Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee, which has opposed placing a living president on coins; critics and some coin collectors also oppose the move.
