Anarchist group installs nude Donald Trump statues in US cities

INDECLINE erected statues in New York, San Francisco,
Los Angeles, Cleveland and Seattle overnight Thursday,
with the intent to humiliate Trump

A nude statue of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump without testicles was taken down on Thursday after causing quite the stir in New York’s Union Square.

The anarchist group INDECLINE erected the statue, titled The Emperor Has No Balls, overnight Thursday.

“It’s horrendously, tragically beautiful,” said Jeanne-Marie Patrick as she knelt down to take a picture. She came and saw the statue on her break after catching a glimpse on Facebook. Despite being disappointed that the face wasn’t quite accurate, she was in awe of it.

“It’s been a horrible week, this has been the best thing that happened to me all week,” Patrick said.

Union Square was packed with people of all ages taking selfies and laughing at his bulging belly and lumpy form. Athelea Sookia got her friend to snap a photo as she tugged on Trump’s stubby penis with a smile.

"NYC Parks stands firmly against any unpermitted erection in city parks, no matter how small,” a parks department spokesperson told Gothamist.

That statue is not to be viewed while eating lunch (I found out the hard way, no pun intended).

I hope they leave the one up in downtown Seattle so I can go for a visit and yell at it.
