Trump's triumphal arch is blocked for now, but a new website highlights the plans

A federal court has temporarily blocked President Donald Trump from breaking ground on his planned towering memorial arch, but that hasn't stopped his administration from moving forward with the project. To promote the arch, the administration launched a new website on Friday, highlighting the plans for its construction. The 250-foot (76-meter) structure is set to be formally known as the United States Military Triumphal Arch and will rise between the Lincoln Memorial and Arlington National Cemetery.

The website declares the arch as "an American vision finally realized" and offers bird's-eye views of the proposal from various angles. Its design includes towering gold doors with sculpted panels at its base and a golden-hued cherub holding a flaming torch at its top, reminiscent of the Statue of Liberty. The site does not disclose the project's cost or financing, though estimates have reached up to $100 million.

The website also touts the arch's capacity to store munitions, sniper positions, and observation decks. The White House highlighted the website after a U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan issued a temporary restraining order prohibiting work on the site for 14 days. With Democrats gaining control of Congress in January, Trump's renovation projects, including the arch, will likely face more scrutiny and obstacles.
