NPS wants public comments on Trump’s proposed Triumphal Arch

The National Park Service is calling on the public to provide their input on the potential effects of a 250-foot arch being proposed by President Donald Trump.

Authorities are requesting public comments as part of the agency’s responsibility under the National Historic Preservation Act, since the arch would become part of the Memorial Avenue corridor, the Lincoln Memorial and the National Mall areas.

Comments can either be filed online or by emailing [e-mail].

Comments are open until June 15.

See the Project Home in the left column for description.

1. So, they want us to put all

Of our contact info before commenting. That’s a big, “hell no” for me. My comments would not be good.

7. Yes. I considered that, but I just don't give a damn anymore.

Come after me assholes. I will make sure the world hears from me as you do.

Whatever years I have left, I'm not spending them cowering in fear from these jackals.

8. True.

I’m small meat. But I do donate to progressives. Might be flagged. Maybe I’m just small potatoes and should let it go. If they want, they can trace me back to the American revolution. So maybe I’m safe???
crazy that those words just came out of my mouth. I fu(king hate him. This whole situation is just bonkers that we hesitate to give them any information at all.
I’m not sure how to think or respond any longer.

2. Will TSF send his troops to those who don't want it?

[GoodRaisin]

20. Why do you think he wants all that prison capacity?

[ImNotGod]

3. don't hold back, tell them what you really thing ;o) nt

4. The comments are always overwhelmingly negative

And it makes no difference.

5. Given Trump's love of McDonalds, he may have been inspired by McDonald's Golden Arches.

If that monstrosity gets built, it should be called the McArch.

6. Build Infrastructure Not Vanity Projects.

9. One question

What is the triumph?

[bamagal62]

10. He's dismantling everything

Then building shit we don’t want. This is Putin, full stop. Destroy everything but give Donnie big things to keep him happy. Give him ballrooms. Give be him fight rings. Etc.
i think this is Putin. Destroy everything from within but flatter the idiot. I told people in 2016 that he was a Russian plant/tool. And I still believe that. This is Russia destroying us from within. But. We keep dancing around this acting like Trump is some amazing politician. He’s a grifter that owes Putin something. Putin has been planning this for years and he’s apparently succeeding. There is a lot of blackmail going on in the halls of congress and the Supreme Court. Putin has been playing the long game.

[madamesilverspurs]

17. Comments DO NOT REQUIRE identifying information.

I just posted my comment. Only city, state, and postal code are required; everything else is optional. And the comment space is quite large.

19. My submission

I cannot think of a more monstrously Un-American eyesore than the proposed arch.

The preposterous height would overwhelm and utterly ruin the deliberate design of the National Mall with its treasured long and open views. It will encroach on hallowed military ground and destroy the solemn views between the Lincoln Memorial and Arlington National Cemetery.

This project must be rejected to preserve the quintessentially American, elegant, restrained symmetries and harmonies of Washington D.C.s neoclassical and Federal architecture.

I, along with millions of Americans, am begging you not to commit this heartbreaking, obscenely grandiose architectural atrocity. For the sake of the nation, heed our calls.

[Totally Tunsie]

21. Thank you. Comments submitted.

23. If it goes up would you support spending tax dollars to take it down? I would.

24. Trump can go fuck himsrlf.
