The monument would be a centerpiece of the White House’s plans for America’s 250th birthday.

President Donald Trump said in an interview Wednesday that construction of his long-teased Triumphal Arch is expected to begin “sometime in the next two months.”

That would put the start date ahead of July 4, 2026 — as the White House ramps up preparations for the nation’s 250th anniversary next year.

⠀ In a 2-to-1 decision, a federal appeals court ordered the Trump administration to halt construction of its $400 million ballroom at the White House. They determined that the project is illegal because it lacks congressional approval. The lone dissenting judge is a Trump appointee. The majority opinion emphasized that a president is a temporary occupant, not the owner, of the White House and that major alterations require explicit authorization from Congress. Trump, who seems to think he should get away with any illegal thing he wants, is appealing the decision to the U.S. Supreme Court. Although Trump has won 80% of his emergency appeals to the Supreme Court, legal experts say this time he faces some difficult challenges — assuming the Court decides to even hear the case at all. Following the shooting at the White House Correspondents' dinner, congressional Republicans introduced legislation to authorize the ballroom. However, the bill has failed to gain any real traction or move forward. In a related note, Trump's construction of his Triumphal Arch is also facing legal challenges filed by a coalition of historic preservationists and Vietnam War veterans.

“Arch of Honor” – multiple artists (1515, printed 1517/18)

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Monumental woodcut designed by Albrecht Dürer and his collaborators for Maximilian I. Printed from 195 woodblocks on 36 sheets, the completed work measures nearly 12 feet (3.5 m) high, making it one of the largest prints ever produced in the Renaissance. Inspired by ancient Roman triumphal arches, it was conceived as a paper monument celebrating Emperor Maximilian I, his dynasty, ancestry, military victories, and political alliances. The composition combines genealogies, portraits, historical scenes, heraldry, allegories, and inscriptions into a vast visual program of dynastic and imperial self-glorification.
