President Donald Trump has found a new purpose for the massive triumphal arch he wants to build near Arlington National Cemetery: national security.
“At the strong request of the United States Military, and for National Security purposes, I have agreed to convert the magnificent Triumphal Arch, planned since the Civil War Era many years ago, at the Receptive Circle adjoining the Arlington Memorial Bridge, into a top grade Military Complex/Triumphal Arch,” Trump wrote Sunday on Truth Social.
