Trump Wants $500M Victory Arch, Fails to Fix Infrastructure
Yes, $500,000,000. For a triumphal arch. (One might call it 'tremendous,' 'the best arch,' 'everyone agrees.') This colossal sum for a monument to a single ego, while America's actual infrastructure—bridges, roads, water systems—desperately needs a trillion-dollar overhaul. Trump's own administration, despite pledging a major infrastructure plan, essentially delivered nothing concrete. So, a
half-billion for a symbolic gateway to… what exactly? A golden age of crumbling freeways and polluted water? It appears some 'victories' are more decorative than functional. Imagine a world where that money went to, say, actual veterans' care, school lunches, or perhaps even repairing the decrepit parts of Washington D.C. he presumably wants to 'honor.' But alas, arches don't feed children or fix
pipes. They just stand there, silently mocking the priorities they represent.
