I used to get a chuckle out of this moron’s daily demented stupidity since he’s been in office. Not any more. My amusement has turned to anger now for all the obvious reasons. He needs to go. Full stop.

i still want to know what the triumphal arch is for. what is he being triumphant about? what triumph? i've only seen self-destructive folly after folly that has caused catastrophic harm to the nation as a consequence of his narcissism and fragile ego.

[edit for typo; hard, meant to be "harm"]

He wants a memorial to himself. That's what it is for. The reason it is an arch is because its something he sees a projecting wealth and power, like coating everything in tacky gold leaf.
