Trump: Policy chief's priority is DC arch, not affordability crisis

  • Trump stated his domestic policy chief's main priority is building a triumphal arch in Washington D.C.
  • The announcement came amidst growing criticism regarding the administration's handling of the affordability crisis.
  • Vance Haley, head of the White House Domestic Policy Council, is tasked with overseeing the arch's construction.
  • The proposed arch would be located near Arlington Bridge, Arlington Cemetery, and the Lincoln Memorial.
  • Trump compared the planned arch to Paris's Arc de Triomphe, asserting the D.C. version would be superior.

Why It Matters: Trump prioritizes monument over affordability crisis, showing misplaced focus.
