Reject the proposed Arc de Trump monument for the National Mall in Washington D.C. This grandiose neoclassical arch is an unnecessary, wasteful use of public resources and space. The proposed monument would be situated in a traffic circle between Arlington National Cemetery and the Lincoln Memorial. It would dwarf nearby historic structures, including the Lincoln Memorial itself. This scale alone raises serious concerns about the project's appropriateness and its impact on the existing, carefully planned landscape of our nation's capital. What's most troubling is the apparent self-aggrandizing nature of this project. When asked about the monument by journalists, Trump reportedly referred to it as being for "Me." This statement inducates that the project is more about personal legacy than national commemoration, which is inappropriate for a taxpayer-funded endeavor. I urge you to oppose this monument project and instead advocate for more appropriate and unifying ways to commemorate our nation's upcoming 250th anniversary, such as universal health care.
