Emperor Trump announces triumphal arch to ‘blow away’ Paris, says plans cause witnesses to weep uncontrollably

Christmas is fast approaching, and up and down the nation, Americans are miserably examining t their account balances. There’s food to be bought, toys to buy, presents for loved ones, travel plans, and prices for everything are skyrocketing under Donald Trump‘s disastrous stewardship of the economy.

The nation needs urgent action to pull the economy out of its tailspin. But Americans aren’t getting that – they’re getting a gigantic triumphal arch in Washington that seems as if it’ll celebrate Trump. A giddy Trump revealed the exciting news at a White House party, practically vibrating with excitement at getting to break the news.

Speaking at a golden lectern, he said:

“We’re building an arc like the Arc de Triomphe, and we’re building it by the Arlington bridge… the Arlington Cemetery, opposite the Lincoln Memorial. You can say Jefferson, Washington, everything, because they’re all right there. And it’s something that is SO special, uh.

It will be like the one in Paris, but to be honest with you, it blows it away. It blows it away, in every way. And Vince came in one day, and his eyes were… teeming. He couldn’t believe how beautiful it was. He saw it and he wanted to do that. There is nothing that can compete with that.”

Just what America has been crying out for!

Triumphal arches were constructed by the Romans to commemorate especially successful generals who’d conquered new territories for Rome or subdued vicious enemies. Later, in the imperial era, they generally celebrated Emperors, painting them as superhuman gods capable of incredible feats.

It’s unclear what “triumph” Trump’s arch will celebrate. But, frankly, who would be surprised if it were dedicated to the incredible achievements of President Donald Trump himself, perhaps including a solid gold statue of Trump as a personal reminder to future generations of the majesty, cunning, and chiseled good looks of Trump himself.

So, if you spend Christmas Day looking into the eyes of your disappointed child as you tell them you simply couldn’t afford a Nintendo Switch 2 this year, take some solace that at least your president is getting his colossal celebratory arch to dominate D.C.
