BREAKING: DENIED! A federal judge just BLOCKED Trump’s planned triumphal arch at Arlington National Cemetery, stopping Trump from defiling hallowed land with a repulsive and gaudy monument to his fragile ego!

Now only if it sticks…

In a 33-page ruling, Judge Tanya S. Chutkan stopped the construction of Trump’s planned triumphal arch for at least two weeks while legal challenges to the arch work themselves out.

Trump’s big trashy arch is facing legal challenges from veterans’ groups and from the District of Columbia itself, arguing that planning for the arch skipped environmental and historical reviews and required “specific congressional authorization” that the Trump administration did not seek.
