At a White House dinner for donors backing his ballroom project, President Trump unveiled a model for an 'Independence Arch,' a monument resembling Paris's Arc de Triomphe and informally called the 'Arc de Trump.' He praised its design, noted three possible sizes, and favored the largest, telling CBS News the arch is 'for' himself. Planned for the Arlington side of Memorial Bridge, between Arlington National Cemetery and the Lincoln Memorial, it is slated for completion before the nation's 250th next year. Costs and funding were left unclear amid a government shutdown and cuts. A 1902 concept was never built.
