Trump’s obsession with these vulgar memorials to his own vanity is a reminder of the darkness around him, of his hostility to democracy, his loathing of honor, and his disordered mind.

The most important reason not to build the arch is that it is ugly and un-American. It is fascistic bombast, a militaristic yawp in front of a cemetery that is meant to be a place of respect and rest for the dead and quiet reflection for the living.

It should insult every taxpayer that the people leading the “Department of War” appear more interested in soaking up culture war battles while we’re involved in an actual war abroad. It is so painfully unserious.

Replying to @RobManess and @Pontifex
Maybe the Pope can keep his opinions away from America. I don’t care what @Pontifex has to say. He is not an American citizen.
