The admin has already been rushing to clear the final hurdles of the #arch in recent days, brushing aside concerns from architects, historians & #veterans who say it could disrupt the #historical area between the #LincolnMemorial & #ArlingtonNationalCemetery. Now, #Trump appears prepared to return to a familiar playbook he has used to circumvent normal processes & defend some of his more contentious projects in court.

#Trump says planned #arch will be a #military complex for #drones, #snipers
Trump’s post about the arch planned near #ArlingtonNationalCemetery comes as #veterans groups, #historic preservationists & others attempt to stop the project.
His announcement on Sunday echoed his justification for the White House #ballroom∶ that the project was necessary for national security.

What could be more pathetic? So sad 😞
The Trump administration says excavation will begin within the next two weeks for #Trump’s proposed 250-foot-tall #TriumphalArch near Memorial Bridge, between the #Lincoln Memorial and #ArlingtonNationalCemetery
Renderings show a massive structure covered in gold details, topped by a winged, torch-bearing figure
“This will be one of the Great Pieces of American Architecture,” #Burgum wrote, “befitting the most 'powerful' [and stupid] Capital in the World”
In this case, #Trump has proposed building a 250-foot triumphal #arch near #ArlingtonNationalCemetery that he has said must be taller than the Arc de Triomphe in Paris [penis envy]. He has said the arch is meant to celebrate the 250th anniversary of American independence, though he has also said that the arch is for himself [it’s the latter].

Workers were seen inspecting the site of the proposed #arch between the #LincolnMemorial & #ArlingtonNationalCemetery with tools & equipment.…
The work on the site was announced in a court filing Thurs in a federal lawsuit challenging the proposed arch. It consists of “surveys & geotechnical testing which are being used to generate information that will assist Defendant #NationalParkService (#NPS) in completing procedural prerequisites” that are part of the decision-making process.

Loth also invoked the vantage point from #ArlingtonNationalCemetery, where visitors often look across the river toward the Lincoln Memorial & the capital beyond — a view he said the proposed #arch would reshape.
“How does it impact the panorama of Washington?” Loth said, invoking a question that he said should guide designers of #monuments. “What is supposed to be doing the speaking?”
The structure as planned could obstruct views of Arlington House, the fmr Lee estate that sits on a hill in #ArlingtonNationalCemetery.
“I would be very concerned about the scale,” said Calder Loth, a retired Senior Architectural Historian for the Virginia Dept of #Historic Resources, warning that a 250' #arch would alter pedestrians’ views as they approach Arlington Cemetery from Washington. “It would make Arlington House just look like a dollhouse—or you couldn’t see it all…”

Since returning to office, #Trump has moved quickly to assert control over American #cultural institutions, taking over the John F. #KennedyCenter for the Performing Arts & declaring war on Ivy League #universities.
A push to purge references to #diversity & #inclusion led to a page on Jackie Robinson’s life & military career temporarily vanishing from the #Pentagon website. #ArlingtonNationalCemetery web pages highlighting the graves of #Black & #female #ServiceMembers disappeared.

In his will, Henry Kissinger, who died last year at the age of 100, requested a "monument" in his memory be erected in Arlington National Cemetery to mark the site where he is buried. According to his literary executor L. Paul Bremer, it's not happening. Bremer told @politico that the cemetery has tightened its rules on private markers and consequently "there will be a tombstone, a grave marker." The former secretary of state's will also reveals that he died a very rich man, with a personal fortune of at least $80 million, most of which will go to his wife, Nancy, and his family.
“Trump used the terms #SuckersAndLosers to describe #soldiers who gave their lives in the defense of our country,” #JohnKelly recently told Goldberg. “There are many, many people who have heard him say these things.” Besides, #Trump has said himself that he wants to use the #military domestically, & he’s disrespected #FallenSoldiers by trying to use #ArlingtonNationalCemetery as a cheap campaign prop.

…no money was ever received by the family from #Trump. Some of the costs…were covered by the #Army (which offered…to allow Guillén to be buried at #ArlingtonNationalCemetery) & some were covered by donations. Ultimately, Guillén was buried in Houston.
…The personal qualities displayed by Trump in his reaction to the cost of the Guillén funeral—#contempt, #rage, #parsimony, #racism—hardly surprised his inner circle.
