Trump's construction projects are transforming the capital

President Trump's administration has initiated several construction projects in Washington, D.C., which New York Magazine's Ben Terris describes as an attempt for "architectural immortality." These changes, including a ballroom and a planned arch, reflect Trump's efforts to leave a lasting mark on the capital. This push raises questions about the balance between presidential legacy-building and respect for historical landmarks. The implications extend to debates over urban development and the preservation of the city's historical integrity.
