I’d like to see him knock down all the bad architecture in DC and replace it with classical architecture. Start with the brutalist FBI eyesore. I don’t care what it costs.
Remember King Solomon, another Populist. His hubris got in the way of so much reform and enlightenment, but overall, he saved the nation of Israel from its pagan enemies. My suggestion is to pick your battles, because we're on the right course to win this culture war. In the end, my only hope is that Donald J. Trump knows the Triune Godhead of Israel, and we'll meet again in Eternity.
To understand the New Testament Savior, Jesus, you read over 300 Old Testament prophecies concerning his birth, life, death for God's sake. Israel still matters until that last battle, of which my good conservative sense is telling me is lining up in the Middle East to realign Iran/ancient Persia with the other scoundrels. It's all in the Bible, give it a try with a good teacher: www.cornerstonechapel.net Gary Hamrick's teaching library, start with Genesis! Postscript: I am a gentile Christian, my husband is not Jewish but he could have been a Levite (Temple Man)!
The Noahide Laws (America is already dedicated to them via Bush Jr) forbid such idolatry. God is One or you're an idolater. The penalty is death. Until then spitting on Christians will have to do. Go to youtube and SEE.
Thanks, but no thank you. The 66 books of the inspired canonical Bible are what our nation was founded on. They all hang together perfectly when one takes the time to study and learn.
My question was honest & serious, so I appreciate your reply. I'm better educated & more well-read, than my question might have implied. But now my question is different. Regarding Israel-Palestine & etc., is it "prophecy fulfilled", or are all the actors simply following the movie script? Remember, Hollywood is a Jewish-built creation myth factory....
You must enjoy the Taylor Sheridan dramatic series that pokes fun at woke precepts! Our God is much bigger than Hollywood elitists. Returning to the topic of this discussion, Donald Trump is also likened to King Jehu of Israel. He had been both loved and hated, and Jehu's achievements for his country are notable. So, what's the harm in creating a new archway leading into the swamp, which will never truly be drained unless the corrupt past/present actors are prosecuted and imprisoned? Isn't that the real fear on the Left regarding #47?
Throughout history, Jews have been invited to receive Jesus as the Hebrew Messiah. However, pride, legalism, ignorance, and a sense of hopeless self-worth prevent many Jews from accepting such a gift. We all—Jews and Gentiles alike—inherit the same mortal condition. It's why the story in GEN. 3 is worth telling. God saved us even then, with a remedy for our wayward condition. I am sensing that Donald Trump is getting very close to acknowledging Jesus as the only true King. I'm in a group that prays for him every Thursday, and that he read from II Chronicles 7 during the weekly BIBLE reading last week speaks volumes about President Trump's spiritual growth. Compared to Bush 2, Obama, or Biden, it's refreshing to think we have a God-fearing man with nothing to prove except that America deserves better than the past 20 years of deceitful, failed policies.
Trump's grandiosity gave me the Ick when he first emerged politically in 2015. Its a big part of his brand. I think it's unseemly for a US president. I prefer the humility of the American cowboy. I raised my son to be an "aw shucks, ma'am." kind of guy and it has served him well.
There's a surprising lack of gold filigree adorning this structure, what does this remarkable restraint portend? The spaceport going up in south Chicago stands in mighty brutal contrast.
You have obviously not been to Paris … there are no parking lots yet millions of folks visit the Arch each year traveling through an underground access that is infested with pick-pockets. Sounds like something America should install.
Obviously, Rob? Really? Travel is not unique especially to Paris. I wonder your object in making such a condescending, know-it-all statement to our host.
Go back to a real eyesore as this one hasn't been built yet. Critics like you claimed the Washington Monument was too tall and invoked a different era. Critics could complain that the Statue of Liberty's base was too big and kids had to empty their piggy banks to help pay for it.
Of course, one might argue the same about all monuments.
For that matter, so is the genuine gold leaf that Trump has installed in public spaces within the White House.
"But in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow these grounds." Especially considering the nearby Arlington National Cemetery.
The line between the grandiose and the grand is a very fine line. The former has pretension to which it has no true claim.
The line between the profane and the sacred in art is also very fine.
Art is necessary to life. We are not communists! [Any true communist will spurn even so much as a few prints hanging on the walls of their Soviet-cement-block cells/apartments.]
True artistry goes beyond what is merely regurgitated memes, "mimes", or mimicry of beauty. The latter slips into farce.
Beauty will save the world, for sure.
Monuments are not intrinsically beautiful, save for their relationship to the underlying reality portrayed.
To the degree to which this Arc de Tri-umphe should inculcate greater love of country, and respect for the Founding Freedoms of American, then it will garner greater respect -- or even, in the manner of the Temple called the Lincoln Memorial -- = hushed tones of reverence.
To the degree to which is does not do so, it will garner instead the ridicule formerly reserved for the likes of Saddam Hussein's grand monuments to himself.
Personally, no, I really don't care one way or the other, if Arc de Trump ever gets built or not....it's just another large distraction from what's REALLY important.... Which is saving our Article IV, Section IV Constitutional Republic from the demon rat domestic enemy Democrats....
The text is very educational for those of us who are not experts in urban design and architecture. Parking can be added nearby with an underground walkway to keep traffic flowing. All in all, I see my money and hard work being wasted once again for the benefit of corrupt engineers, architects and construction firms.
Why not a mile high Trump-scraper? This is all totally ridiculous when we have a government over-spending by $2 trillion every year. For sure, this is the end days of the US republic. In another year when millions are starving due to El Trumpo's silly Iran adventures sanctioned by bibi, I hope they burn the damn thing down.
I support the Arc de Trump so the TDS crowd has to look at it forever and ever.
Make it bigger with more gold.
Seconded. Normally I ‘d be opposed but it will tweak leftist sensibilities to no end so count me in as a positive vote!!! ;<)

WTF? Israel has a "Triune Godhead"? Really?.... I always thought Israel was Zionist/Jewish/Jahweh-Jehovah-whatever?.... But thanks, Rebecca!

I like it.
I like it. Triumph. Lady Liberty. Tradition. Historical. Stick in the eye to the communists.
First time 'I have disagreed with your take, Mr. Kuntsler.
Trump's grandiosity gave me the Ick when he first emerged politically in 2015. Its a big part of his brand. I think it's unseemly for a US president. I prefer the humility of the American cowboy. I raised my son to be an "aw shucks, ma'am." kind of guy and it has served him well.
We need all kinds…I like yours and I’ll take Trump’s style as well. An interesting world we live in.

meh. Not nearly enough gold.
I live in Virginia and this is a nice area for a massive "structure" like this.
Perhaps great for weddings too?
Like VA needs any more federal handouts. It’s already got more federal DEI tax addicts than the rest of the country.
Yes, let time make its statement.

Superfluous.

Let us hope for the former.

The USA is the largest exporter of food in the world.
Bad choice for another idol to be erected
