Donald Trump just revealed one of his biggest and boldest plans yet: a massive triumphal arch in Washington, D.C. to mark America’s 250th anniversary in 2026. The model, which he displayed on the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office, shows an enormous archway that mirrors France’s famous Arc de Triomphe.

The proposed monument would sit near the Lincoln Memorial, on the Virginia side of the Potomac River, symbolizing a gateway between America’s history and its future. During a press event with FBI Director Kash Patel and Attorney General Pam Bondi, Trump proudly presented the model.
When a CBS News reporter asked who the arch was dedicated to, Trump didn’t hesitate; his response: “Me.”
The comment quickly caught attention online, with many calling the project a mix of patriotism and self-promotion. Supporters argue that Trump’s idea could become a lasting symbol of American pride, while critics see it as another sign of his obsession with monuments and image.
The structure, nicknamed the “Arc de Trump”, is part of Trump’s plan to revamp D.C.’s landmarks ahead of the 250th anniversary of the nation’s founding. The final design reportedly features intricate carvings, stone details, and statues reminiscent of classical European architecture.
However, no official cost or construction timeline has been announced, and the project would likely face significant federal reviews before breaking ground.
