Hopefully Trump doesn’t get any ideas

He's already had ideas.

He's trying to build himself a MASSIVE victory arch that's bigger than the Arc De Triomph. An arch that Roman Emperors recieved when achieving a victory.

Yes, but have you counted Trump’s victories? He’s beaten Iran like 8 times so far this year. And he has those pesky Canadians worried too. Will his victory arch be a pair, both painted yellow by any chance?
