Donald Trump’s Monument Plan Faces Scrutiny Over Enormous Budget

President Donald Trump has ambitious plans for a grand monument in his honor, a project that reportedly comes with a staggering $100 million price tag, as detailed by Axios. According to their sources from the White House, the proposed “Arc de Trump” will be situated across the Potomac River from the Lincoln Memorial and is designed to be significantly larger. The plans include various sizes of arches, but Trump is particularly drawn to the largest one, which will feature both gold and white.The financing for the monument remains uncertain, and it is unclear if Trump will follow legal avenues for necessary permits. He aims for completion by next summer to coincide with the nation’s 250th anniversary. Public reaction has been largely negative, with critics highlighting the monument's extravagant nature amidst pressing social issues, expressing concern over potential financial implications for taxpayers as Trump continues his significant renovations to the White House.
