Anarchist group installs nude Donald Trump statues in US cities

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.

In an interview with the Washington Post, INDECLINE explained that they wanted humiliate Trump while nodding towards his authoritarian tendencies, as dictators often erect statues of themselves.

The group is also behind putting names of black men killed by the police on Hollywood stars and painting an anti-Trump rape mural on the US-Mexico border.

I look in the mirror, I see the perfectest example of extreme handsomeness ever and my balls are YUGE and no way is my gut that big and haven't they seen my gray hair lately? It's totally presidential, bigly so. I don't know who that guy is but it has nothing to do with me. Women think I'm the handsomest guy ever unless they're dogs or over 23. So why should I say anything? PEOPLE LOVE ME."
