"Golden Tribute: Trump Administration Unveils Luxurious Makeover for Iconic War Memorial. In a move that has sparked both admiration and controversy, the Trump Administration has completed the regilding of the iconic Arts of War statues near the Lincoln Memorial with 23.75-karat gold. The statues, which depict various scenes from American history, including the Revolutionary War and World War II, have been a Washington D.C. landmark since 1926. The costly restoration project, estimated to have cost over $100,000, has raised questions about the use of taxpayer funds for such a luxurious endeavor, with some critics arguing that the money could have been better spent on more pressing national priorities."
