In Cleveland there's a bridge that features eight carvings, each depicting a winged figure holding a different kind of vehicle. These carvings were collectively named the Guardians of Traffic; they are the namesake of Cleveland's Major League Baseball team.

They're going to do the same thing to the arch, but there'll be six Guardians of Freedom, all six will have Trump's face and they'll be holding flags and firearms.
