17 April 2026 - trumpal arch

< yesterday -- front page >

So, Trump wants a new trumpal--I mean, triumphal arch, the kind that Romans built after a military victory. He really wants to wear that laurel crown and the fancy toga. He hasn't defeated Iran, so I guess it's for victory over Venezuela?

clue:

Does Trump know that the flanking lions recall Chinese guardian lion sculptures that refer to the emperor ruling the world?

give me a clue so sweet and true
