LEAKED pictures spotted on Donald Trump’s desk hint that the President is set to launch his most ambitious monument yet.
Donald Trump, 79, is no stranger to grand designs – but leaked images from the Oval Office suggest he may be plotting one of the biggest building projects so far.
Leaked pictures have hinted at a brand new monument in Washington DC
This might be Trump’s biggest project yet
The pictures were snapped at the Oval Office
A mock-up of a towering triumphal arch was spotted sitting on the Resolute Desk as the president met Finnish leader Alex Stubb on Thursday.
The images, which have been circulating online, show miniature models arranged on a map.
The arch is positioned on a traffic circle near Arlington Cemetery, just across the Potomac River from the Lincoln Memorial.
A second, larger model on the desk revealed striking details: a winged golden angel holding a torch above, flanked by two white eagles.
The design has a strong resemblance to Paris’s Arch de Triomphe, commissioned by Napoleon in the 19th century to honour fallen soldiers from his military campaigns.
The design is similar to a drawing shared by Nicholas Leo Charbonneau, who works at the architecture firm Harrison Design.
Nicholas added fuel to the fire by posting a striking drawing of the arch on social media – showing it planted in the exact same traffic circle outside Arlington National Cemetery, complete with the eagle and angel statues perched on top.
The image has sparked fresh speculation over whether Trump’s grand monument plans are already in motion.
It remains unclear if Harrison Design, a firm Charbonneau has worked with before, is involved in drafting any official blueprints.
Sharing the image online, Charbonneau declared: “A proposal for a triumphal arch in DC for #America250, in the traffic circle in front of Arlington National Cemetery.”He added: “America needs a triumphal arch!” – a statement that’s sent Trump-watchers into overdrive.
The White House has not responded to requests for comment.
But the “Donald Trump for President” Facebook page. which has more than six million followers, posted a drawing in September which matches the design almost exactly.
Trump – a former real estate mogul – who reclaimed power in January – has thrown himself into a flurry of building and renovation projects since returning to the White House.
He has decked the Oval Office in gold, covering the walls with fancy paintings and luxury ornaments.
During one meeting, he even paused proceedings to talk about his redesign if the Cabinet room – spending several minutes praising the drapes.
He also constructing a massive ballroom next to the White House.
A model of the ballroom appeared on Trump’s desk with a photo shared by deputy chief staff Dan Scavino on Wednesday.
In recent months, Trump has revamped parts of the White House to mirror his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida.
The rose garden has been paved over, fitted with picnic tables and bright yellow and white umbrellas.
At the end of August, the Republican leader signed an executive order to promote “classical” architecture, taking inspiration from ancient Rome and Greece.
He has also made clear his ambition to create permanent monuments to American power and military victories.
If built, the huge arch would stand as a symbol of Trump’s vision for America’s 250th birthday – a bold new landmark on the Washington skyline.
