President Donald Trump’s triumphal arch gets a worthy new venue.
The Cheesecake Factory has become an unlikely flashpoint in the final days of the midterm campaign after former President Barack Obama said Trump had the White House “looking like Saddam Hussein opened a Cheesecake Factory” because of his gaudy decoration.
Trump has spent months touting his plan for a towering monument in the nation’s capital. The proposed 250-foot arch would reshape the city’s monument-filled skyline if approved, and plans call for a towering winged figure with a Lady Liberty-like torch and crown, flanked by two eagles and guarded by four lions, all gilded in gold.
