Trump's Tacky Gold Arch Could Be Funded by Child Victims

President Donald Trump may have found a new way to fund his Washington, D.C. glow-up.

The Trump administration is reportedly nearing a $400 million settlement with TikTok over alleged child privacy violations, with sources telling ABC News the money could help bankroll Trump’s lavish “beautification” projects, including a giant 250-foot triumphal arch near Arlington National Cemetery.

The proposed settlement would resolve a lawsuit filed by the Biden administration in 2024, which accused TikTok and parent company ByteDance of illegally collecting data from children under 13 without parental consent, in violation of federal child privacy laws.

The Justice Department alleged TikTok illegally collected data from millions of children, continued serving them ads, and exposed them to content intended for adults.

Why isn't the money going to the children?
