Leaked images reveal a potential ambitious construction project: a triumphal arch near Arlington Cemetery. The model on display in the Oval Office closely resembled the Arc de Triomphe, hinting at a design inspired by Napoleon’s monument. The “Donald Trump for President” Facebook page previously shared a drawing of the arch, connecting it to the 250th anniversary of US independence. This project aligns with Trump’s recent focus on renovation and architectural projects, including changes to the Oval Office and ongoing work at the White House.

Venezuela’s opposition leader Machado dedicates Nobel Peace Prize to Trump, and the immediate reaction is a mix of bewilderment, amusement, and outright condemnation. It’s a head-scratcher, no doubt. Here we have Maria Corina Machado, a prominent figure in Venezuela’s opposition, winning the coveted Nobel Peace Prize, and what does she do? She dedicates it to Donald Trump. That’s a curveball, to say the least.
