(146,192 posts)I hope it stays in view, although it's the sort of thing that probably will be removed quickly.
Masterful, and done by a dedicated person!

(32,596 posts)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.
DURHAM D
(32,596 posts)other locations?
Are they still up?
MineralMan
(146,192 posts)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.

(41,915 posts)Capitol Hill in Seattle is the kind of place where they might well keep it and "embellish" it.

(2,108 posts)And no way he doesn't look at the coverage and the video.
Bet he'll be in a particularly surly mood when he hits the airwaves today ~
Perfect. Keep him off his game. Get in his head and he does all the rest.
DURHAM D
(32,596 posts)You are right...he can't let this go.
I also hope we get updates on how long they stay up in the other 4 cities.
Loki
(3,825 posts)It's probably accurate too!
SticksnStones
(2,108 posts)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...
DURHAM D
(32,596 posts)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.

(2,108 posts)Thanks for the link ~

The people watching from the side look like they are mourning.

(17,138 posts)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 Gores 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 statues base.

(32,596 posts)keep-away with Donald's phone? You know he is going crazy and needs to respond.
Someone should start a pool on what he will tweet.

(32,596 posts)could you please post them in this thread.
Also, if you spot any locals stories in Seattle, Cleveland, SF or LA could you post them here.
Thanks

(127,331 posts)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.

(48 posts)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.

(5,275 posts)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.
