As the United States approaches its 250th anniversary, Donald Trump is reportedly initiating ambitious plans to reshape Washington D.C.'s landscape permanently. The former president's vision includes the construction of a grand triumphal arch and a new ballroom, projects that signal a desire to leave a lasting physical mark on the nation's capital.
