A federal judge has blocked construction of Donald Trump's colossal 250-foot 'Triumphal Arch' in Washington, just hours after his administration declared work may begin 'immediately.'

Judge Tanya Chutkan dealt Trump a major setback Thursday night, granting a temporary restraining order that prevents his administration from starting work on his so-called 'Arc de Trump.'

The mammoth monument, planned for a site near Arlington National Cemetery, would tower roughly 25 stories above the ground, though exactly how much it would cost remains a mystery.
