The president's plans to put his own architectural design stamp on Washington has extended beyond the White House, and in a more permanent way, too.
Last Wednesday, during a dinner with the ballroom donors, Trump showed the donors his plans to build a ceremonial arch -- similar to the Arc de Triomphe in Paris -- that would be located just outside Washington in a roundabout at one end of the Arlington Memorial Bridge adjacent to Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia.
"It's going to be really beautiful," Trump said of the arch. "I think it's going to be fantastic."
The president claimed that the arch would be funded with money leftover from the ballroom project and be created in time for the country's 250th anniversary next summer.
When a reporter asked Trump who the arch was for, he pointed at himself and said, "me."
