The White House is to build a triumphal arch: a golden statue on the roof, opposite the Lincoln Memorial!
The plan is to construct a landmark building similar to a triumphal arch near the Lincoln Memorial, and the model has already been completed. If implemented, this plan would add an unprecedentedly personal and distinctive building to the core memorial area of Washington.
According to insiders, the design of the triumphal arch will continue Trump's favorite golden theme, with a golden statue on the roof, consistent with his love for gold. Trump's obsession with gold is no secret.
Analysts point out that the triumphal arch plan is closely related to Trump's efforts to shape his image as a "peacemaker." He claims to have mediated multiple international conflicts, including the border conflict between India and Pakistan, Thailand and Cambodia, facilitated the signing of a peace agreement between the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Rwanda, and促成 the reconciliation between Armenia and Azerbaijan.
In the Thai-Cambodian border conflict, Trump used the strategy of "tariffs for peace." He threatened that if the conflict did not stop, he would impose tariffs of up to 36% on both countries from August 1. This threat quickly worked, leading to a ceasefire after five days of fighting that resulted in at least 42 deaths. Trump then proudly declared, "I am proud to be a 'peace president'!"
White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles said in a statement: "President Trump is a builder at heart, with an extraordinary eye for detail." However, critics worry that if the triumphal arch is built, it will intensify the塑造 of Trump's personal image, which goes against American tradition.
