Trump Says His Proposed D.C. Arch Needs Military Operations

President Trump has claimed that military operations are needed at his proposed triumphal arch in Washington, D.C., in order to protect national security, NPR reports. A federal court is weighing the arch's legality. The framing invites the obvious question: a monument unveiled as a security asset rather than a commemoration is a different kind of building, and its legal standing is still being decided rather than settled.
