Don’t let Trump build himself an arch at Arlington National Cemetery!
A federal judge just blocked Donald Trump’s planned triumphal arch at Arlington National Cemetery, stopping the president from defiling hallowed ground with a repulsive and gaudy monument to his fragile ego.
In a 33-page ruling, US District Judge Tanya S. Chutkan stopped the construction of Trump’s arch for at least two weeks while legal challenges work themselves out.
Trump’s big, trashy monument to himself is facing legal challenges from veterans’ groups and from the District of Columbia itself, who've argued that planning for the arch skipped environmental and historical reviews and required “specific congressional authorization” that the Trump administration did not seek.
The judge did not buy the explanation that Trump needed this arch to be a secret military drone port to keep the Capitol safe since the “security aspects” were added in at the last second when it looked like the vanity project was going to get shut down.
While Chutkan's ruling is welcomed, this case is inevitably going to get sent up to higher courts that might be more friendly to Trump’s insipid demands, and we cannot allow him to succeed.
Don’t let Trump build himself an arch at Arlington National Cemetery!
