A Vietnam War veteran suing to block Donald Trump’s proposed triumphal arch in Washington, D.C., tore into the president over his claims the project would commemorate the nation’s founding and military history.
Jon Gunderson, 81, slammed the planned monument in an interview with MS NOW’s Katy Tur on Tuesday, calling it “a monument to the ego of one man” rather than a tribute to veterans.
Trump, 79, unveiled plans last year for a 250-foot gilded triumphal arch near the Lincoln Memorial as part of celebrations marking America’s 250th anniversary. In a Truth Social post last month, the president said his administration had “officially filed the presentation and plans to the highly respected Commission of Fine Arts for what will be the GREATEST and MOST BEAUTIFUL Triumphal Arch, anywhere in the World.”
