Donald Trump reportedly wants the arch he is planning to build in Washington DC to dwarf the Lincoln Memorial.
The US president envision the planned arch to be a height of 250ft, or significantly taller than the 100ft-tall Lincoln Memorial, the Washington Post reported on Saturday. It would also be significantly taller than Paris’s 164ft-tall Arc de Triomphe – but less than half the height than the Gateway Arch in St Louis, Missouri, the world’s tallest arch.
The Post reported that Trump has his eye on a plot of land near Memorial Bridge over the Potomac River, citing two people who are familiar with the plans and spoke to the outlet on the condition of anonymity.
The latest proposed addition to the Washington skyline comes as Trump is already constructing a new East Wing to the White House containing a ballroom. At 89,000 sq ft, the new ballroom is supposed to be larger than the White House’s 55,000-sq-ft footprint, at the same 70ft height.



It’s about 1,091 Big Macs.
Approximately 37.86 bald eagle wingspans or 326.09 Apple pie diameters.
Can I get that in bananas?
It’s in the neighborhood of Apple pie diameters. ~394.
