Donald Trump在林肯纪念馆附近提出一个250英尺的胜利拱门, 预定用于美国五百周年, 引起了人们对其象征意义和位置的担忧。 A proposed 250-foot triumphal arch by Donald Trump near the Lincoln Memorial, intended for the U.S. semiquincentennial, has sparked concern over its symbolism and location. 以罗马拱门为模型,与帝国征服和反犹主义相关联,包括提图斯拱门,其设计引来了军事统治和专制权力。 Modeled after Roman arches linked to imperial conquest and antisemitism, including the Arch of Titus, the design evokes military dominance and authoritarian power. 它沿着连接主要国家纪念碑的象征性轴心放置,使人担心它可能掩盖历史遗址,歪曲其含义。 Its placement along a symbolic axis connecting major national memorials raises fears it could overshadow historic sites and distort their meaning. 批评者认为纪念碑与美国的民主价值观相抵触,并质疑这样一个结构是否反映了国家的理想。 Critics argue the monument contradicts American democratic values and question whether such a structure reflects the nation’s ideals.
