Arc de Triomphe in the United States: Donald Trump continues to multiply disconcerting interventions in full

Amidst the chaos of the war in Iran, Donald Trump’s numerous public appearances about his grand patriotic projects are raising eyebrows. The latest example was the announcement of the construction of a triumphal arch, similar to the one in Paris.

The plans have just been unveiled. Donald Trump’s new project is a gigantic triumphal arch, the tallest in the world, reminiscent of the Parisian monument. A few months ago, the President of the United States admitted, “It will be like the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. But to be honest, it will crush it,” said Donald Trump in December 2025.

Since the beginning of the conflict in the Middle East, Donald Trump has been dominating the media space almost daily with sometimes controversial statements in the context of war. “What do you think of the rescue of the American pilot in Iran?” he asked. The President has also made astonishing announcements, like on the Air Force One, about the renovations at the White House. “It will be the most beautiful ballroom of its kind in the world,” highlighted Donald Trump about the project to build a ballroom at the White House.

While Vice President J.D. Vance is negotiating in Pakistan, he attends an MMA fight. The goal is to divert attention from the war turmoil. In the streets of Washington, Americans seem skeptical. “We have breaking news seven times an hour with ridiculous things he does. While we struggle with gas prices, food costs, children, our lives, and he just creates chaos,” lamented a woman.

The President is currently at an all-time low in popularity polls, worrying his own camp just months away from the midterm elections. Some Americans continue to support him. “I am a Trump admirer. You can’t love everyone’s personality, but he is doing what is necessary for this country,” said a woman. His latest extravagance: a live delivery of fast food at the White House, in front of cameras normally expected to cover the war in Iran.
