Yes, give him full credit. Without a doubt, he’s now planning to be America’s archvillain forever and a day, all six foot three of him — or, in the years to come, do I mean all 250 feet of him? Depending on how things turn out, he — or do I mean it? — certainly should be considered not just this country’s archvillain, but potentially its archenemy, too. And believe me, I’m not putting any of this too archly.

As “our” president recently said, “There will be no facility like this anywhere in the World.” And because we’re talking about a creation of Donald J. Trump, you can count on that, since there’s no one quite like the president of these (increasingly dis-)United States anywhere in the — and yes, I guess I should cap it, too — World. So, nowhere will there be another arch of triumph (or arc de triomphe, if you prefer) that will “house, store, and have the rapid ability to use large numbers of drones, plus Snipers, on both the roof and plaza areas, and additionally have and hold large quantities of sniper ammunition in storage.”

Hey, Snipers (with a capital S) just outside downtown Washington, D.C., at the intersection of Arlington Memorial Bridge and Memorial Avenue within George Washington Memorial Parkway! Honestly, what could possibly go wrong with that? I can’t imagine. In fact, though its construction hasn’t even begun, I feel that our country is already archly triumphant!

After all, there it will be between Arlington National Cemetery and the Lincoln Memorial, overshadowing them both, and who in this country, no less the world (yes, this very world, capitalized or not!), would want anything less than “a top grade Military Complex/Triumphal Arch” (gilded, of course!) in their nation’s capital? And this one, in particular, will certainly be a distinctive arch of triumph for You Know Exactly Who (or YKEW). I mean, who wouldn’t want to........
