A new art installation is haunting the desertscape north of Las Vegas: a naked, 43-foot-tall marionette of Donald Trump. (You can find a full image of the statue below the fold.)
According to The Wrap, the statue is made of rebar and foam, weighs around 3 tons, and will travel the United States as part of a “Crooked and Obscene” art tour, though future dates and locations have yet to be announced.
This is far from the first time the wannabe dictator has inspired art. In 2016, an anarchist art collective
called INDECLINE commissioned five life-sized statues of a naked Trump. Titled “The Emperor has No Balls,” the statues appeared in public spaces in Cleveland, Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, and Seattle.
One of the completed life-size naked statues of Trump was put up in Central Park in NYC in 2018. It was removed by the New York City Parks Department, which issued the following statement: “We don’t allow private erections in our park, no matter how small.”
And who could ever forget the Donald Trump Baby Blimp, which now lives in the collection of The Museum of London. In 2018, the blimp was allowed to fly over Parliament Square in the United Kingdom during Trump’s visit.
