A French media reporter found that the Trump administration of the United States or intends to build a “big swing door”.
When U.S. President Donald Trump met with a Finnish president who visited the White House on the same day, reporters found some architectural models on Trump's desk, suggesting the White House might consider building a large arch building near Lincoln Memorial.
The model and map photographed by the reporter show that this arch is planned to be built on the bank of Potomac River in Washington, D.C., near a roundabout in Arlington Cemetery, across the river from Lincoln Memorial. The details of the model are clearly visible: in the center of the arch is a golden two-winged angel statue of * holding a torch, with white eagle-shaped carvings on both sides. The overall style is similar to that of the Parisian Arc de Triomphe. The Arc de Triomphe in France was ordered by Napoleon in the early 19th century to commemorate French soldiers killed in the war.
According to the report, the White House has not yet responded to this plan. However, the account of "Donald Trump Running for President" with more than 6 million followers on social media "Facebook" published a design drawing in September this year, in which the position of the arch is consistent with this model. The post said that the scheme was related to the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States.
Agence France-Presse said that since returning to the White House in January this year, Trump has promoted a number of renovation and construction projects. For example, he added gold decorations, paintings and ornaments to the walls of the White House's Oval Office; Plans are planned to build a large banquet hall next to the White House and to transform parts of the White House into a style similar to his Mar-a-Lago, Fla., including picnic tables and parasols in the newly paved rose garden.
Trump also signed an executive order at the end of August establishing "classic architecture" inspired by ancient Rome and ancient Greece as a priority style for federal public buildings.
