The perfect use for Trump’s arch

1970s: Discrimination against Black renters
1980s: Sexual misconduct allegations begin
September 2005: Trump is caught on tape advocating “grabbing women by the pussy”
April 2016: Trump is accused of raping a 13-year-old girl
October 2016: A journalist accuses Trump of assaulting her in Mar-a-Lago
21 June 2019: E Jean Carroll accuses Trump of raping her in a department store

It’s hard to believe that Donald Trump has only been back in office for a year, given the relentless news cycle he seems so obsessed with commanding (once a reality star, always a reality star?). From ordering especially high numbers of thuggish ICE agents into states that voted for his Democratic rival, Kamala Harris, to belittling allies in Europe (much to the delight of Russia’s President Putin), Trump sadly shows no signs of ending the chaos that is impacting the lives of millions the world over.

Outside of these vastly consequential decisions, the 79-year-old’s critics are also quick to point out that Trump is the first twice-impeached president with a criminal conviction to his name – and are now calling for him to be impeached a third time (something which could theoretically be possible if his party loses in the mid-term elections this coming November).

Alongside the two previous impeachments, Trump also has 34 felony counts to his name and one official conviction (plus six instances of bankruptcy). Accusations levelled against the President range from raping a teenager in 1994 to rigging the 2016 election and allegations that he incited and encouraged violence that led to the 6 January 2021 storming of Capitol Hill.

So, what has Trump actually been accused – and convicted – of over the years? Here’s a timeline recapping the key cases…

Priorities: Latest Plans For Trump’s Arch

Some modifications in Trump’s memorial to himself.

 

Trump’s arch now has elevators—and a $100 million price tag

Sailing through a crucial design review, the president’s monumental arch in Washington, D.C., just got a lot more expensive.

The Coming Social Security Crisis And The Fight To Save It

By 2034, Social Security’s trust funds will run dry unless Congress acts. Medicare’s hospital insurance fund faces the same fate by 2033. Without intervention, all beneficiaries will see benefit cuts.

Republican Priorities: Plenty of money for a useless, grotesque arch; not enough money for Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid or other benefits to ordinary people.

 

 

Hitler’s Arch Comes to America

Federal officials are laying more groundwork to begin construction on President Donald Trump’s planned 250-foot-tall triumphal arch, sharing additional documents that detail the project’s scope and an aggressive timetable for potentially completing work before Trump’s term ends.

According to National Park Service documents posted this month, the administration envisions 20 hours per day of construction on the arch, year-round, in hopes of completing the project within two to three years. Construction experts said that timeline — which would involve two 10-hour daily shifts — is aggressive for a nonemergency project.

In related news, Republicans voted to reduce Medicaid and Social Security benefits and to increase FICA taxes, because these programs are running short of money.

Hitler’s triumphal arch was a massive, unbuilt monument intended to dwarf Paris’s Arc de Triomphe and serve as a centerpiece of Nazi Berlin.

Historical Context

The arch was part of Adolf Hitler and Albert Speer’s grand plan to transform Berlin into Welthauptstadt Germania, Envisioned as the capital of a global German empire. Planning began in the late 1930s, with the goal of creating monumental architecture that symbolized Nazi power, racial ideology, and the permanence of Hitler’s regime. The arch was intended to honor German soldiers who died in World War I and to impress both Germans and foreign visitors with the scale of the T

Design and Scale

The triumphal arch was designed to be three times the size of the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, large enough that the Parisian monument could fit entirely within its opening. It would have been part of a grand boulevard stretching from the Brandenburg Gate through the Tiergarten to Charlottenburg, forming an east-west axis lined with monumental buildings and public spaces. The arch’s massive pillars required extensive engineering studies due to Berlin’s marshy, sandy soil.

Engineering Test: Schwerbelastungskörper

To test the feasibility of building such a colossal structure, the Schwerbelastungskörper, a 12,650-ton concrete cylinder, was constructed between 1941 and 1942 in Tempelhof, Berlin. This cylinder measured 14 meters high and 21 meters in diameter, with a foundation extending 18.2 meters into the ground. It contained instruments to measure ground subsidence, simulating the load of one pillar of the planned arch  Today, the Schwerbelastungskörper remains one of the few physical remnants of Hitler’s unrealized architectural ambitions.
