So they put these up in 5 cities and are watching to see who takes it down first.

I noticed a video there on how they made them but have not watched it yet.

Thanks again.

I've not seen any stories about the others being removed. The Seattle and San Francisco ones are the most likely to remain for some time. Both cities are relatively tolerant of prankster art. Seattle's Troll sculpture is an excellent example. It has been under that bridge for a very, very long time.

Think it's sitting in a police station somewhere downtown? Think they'll throw a trench coat over it?

Trump in a trench coat, naked underneath, standing in a corner, cops going about their business around it.

I'd like a picture of that too please.

Heck, I'd like to see photos of him being taken away....in a van? The trunk of a police cruiser with the lid left open? A dump truck? A couple of city employees tipping him over and hoisting him up by his ankles and armpits?

Oh, how I wanna see THOSE photos...

Scroll down.

It will probably end up in that guy's garage for now and then show up for sale online. NY City should auction it off to the highest bidder.

Today, Donald Trump stood nude in the center of Union Square. Well, a life-size, clay sculpture of him — and wow, is it unforgiving. Like Illma Gore’s infamous portrait of the Republican presidential nominee come to life, the hollow work has a micropenis adorned with golden curls, lying below a bulbous, sagging belly. His butt is pockmarked like the surface of the moon, wrinkles line his face like creases on a carrot, and varicose veins crawl all over his pale body, which is tinged pink. You could spot him, based on his signature blonde hair, from far off, but up close there are surprising details: his nails are painted pink, he wears a masonic ring, and a plaque at his feet reads, “THE EMPEROR HAS NO BALLS ~ INDECLINE.” The word “Ginger” is also etched into the statue’s base.

I believe that. During my trip to San Francisco almost 15 years ago, I saw a huge spray-painted graffiti that said "FUCK BUSH" on top of one of the buildings near the Embarcadero. It was there the whole week I was in town.

When the Parks department removed the statue, this is the explanation they offered:

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

I must add, however, that his hands should be much smaller, to add a touch of greater realism. His member is probably even smaller than that, haha.
I'm REALLY looking forward to more of these statues being erected throughout the country, by the way.

Not only the statue but the response from NYC Parks. Truth in satire, it rocks!

Any state he carries is so full of mentally challenged creeps they don't belong in the USA.
