In a report by BBC News, Trump plans to build a monument "Arc de Trump" the post explains that its meant to be a symbolic marker to comemerate his legacy and presidency. The article incorporates official statements and quotes verifying President Trumps plan to advance in this project.

This source is a creditable international news organization, so the claim itself seems to be reputable and true. BBC news is one of the major outlooks, as they cover political announcements with reliable sources, which indicates that this event has been documented or publicly confirmed.

Because of the reliable reporting from BBC news, this claim is accurate. Its always a good idea to check multiple credible news sources to make sure it isnt taken out of context or misinterpreted.

In a BBC News report, Trump's plans to build a monument "Arc de Trump" is explained. The post reveals that it's meant to be a symbolic marker to commemorate his impact and presidency. The article incorporates official statements and quotes verifying President Trumps plan to advance in this project, but never states the project's title. This claim is a misleading version of the true events.

When looking at the source of this claim on BBC (https://bbc.com/news/articles/cy7e8lv176go), there is no proof that President Trump explicitly named his project "Arc De Trump". The article elaborates on the plans and inspiration for the project, but never the name of the architecture. This lack of evidence is overwhelmingly obvious and therefore disproves the claim that Trump plans to build "Arc De Trump".

In order to further gauge the accuracy of this claim, I looked at another reliable article by CBS (https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-arch-dca-airport-flight-path/). This source included statements from President Trump himself, but did not refer to the architecture's name as "Arc De Trump". Rather, the article referred to the architecture as a "250-foot arch". Ultimately, this source provides evidence that disproves the claim.

In terms of biases, BBC has faced controversy that they hold negative biases toward Trump. This is important to note when looking at articles mentioning his presidency. Additionally, BBC is not within the US, making it potentially less reliable for news regarding the United States' matters.
