And big beautiful new reflecting pool! It's because I care about our capital and want it to be the best in the world! Real Americans are eager to pay for these needed renovations like you can't believe the filthy neglected condition of the Reflecting Pool that couldn't reflect anything!

Everybody goes ooh and aah over Paris, so why shouldn't we have one of those big arches? The Trump Christian America Arch will have a gold angel on top which is even better. Big strong architetters...arkansas...builders have come to me with tears in their eyes, saying, 'Sir, thank you for adding the beautiful angel!'

What's that, how much is all this going to cost Americans? Are you from CNN Fake News? Nasty woman. Maybe look into how much Ozempic costs, okay?

Thank you for your attention to this matter."
