A towering gold statue of Donald Trump was unveiled at the president’s golf course in Doral, Florida, during an emotionally charged ceremony presided over by an Evangelical pastor.
Placed on a pedestal in a clearing of palm trees, the 22‑foot colossus depicts the president thrusting his fist into the air, echoing his defiant gesture after the attempt on his life in Butler, Pennsylvania.
I wonder if it ever occurred to anyone involved in this that putting up a statue to yourself is…erm…not exactly a reputable way to go about things.
At Wednesday’s dedication ceremony, the sculpture was draped in white and blue fabric, resembling a Greek toga. It was encircled by a few dozen guests seated in chairs, as Pastor Mark Burns — a member of Pastors for Trump — spoke at a podium.
“Today at Trump National Doral Miami, we witnessed an unforgettable moment,” Burns wrote on social media before emphasizing that the gilded effigy was not a false idol.
Excuse me excuse me pastor sir – yes it is. If ever anything could be called a false idol it’s a giant statue of the worst human being on the planet.
The statue, of course, is both hideous and laughable. His paunch is neither concealed nor minimized.
The statue — which rises 15 feet atop a 7-foot base — was commissioned and bankrolled by a collective of crypto investors seeking to boost visibility for their memecoin, $PATRIOT, according to The Daily Beast.
Oh I see, so it’s basically a commercial.
Feast your eyes.
