WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump’s plans for a new triumphal arch in the capital, unveiled Friday, include a towering winged figure with a Lady Liberty-like torch and crown, flanked by two eagles and guarded by four lions — all gilded. The 12-page plan released by the U.S. Commission of Fine Arts shows the arch will stand 250 feet tall from its base to the tip of the winged figure’s torch, with “One Nation Under God” and “Liberty and Justice for All” inscribed in gold atop either side of the monument. Trump says it “will be the GREATEST and MOST BEAUTIFUL Triumphal Arch, anywhere in the World.”
