The arch is estimated to cost around $100 million, and the administration\u2019s upgrades to the Reflecting Pool on the National Mall are expected to cost more than $13 million.<\/p>\n<p>Republicans are reportedly seeking to distance themselves as Trump digs himself in deeper with his war in Iran, while seemingly caring more about vanity projects that most Americans do not see or enjoy frequently, let alone every day.<\/p>\n<p>Four House Republicans voted this week to limit Trump\u2019s Iran war powers, including Michigan GOP Rep. Tom Barrett, whose seat has been described as vulnerable in the midterms. He pointed to the cost-of-living crisis as his reason.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think that people are frustrated, certainly,\u201d Barrett told CNN.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI definitely feel what people are experiencing back home,\u201d he added. \u201cI fill up my gas tank too.
