  2. > On Saturday, a 43-foot tall nude statue of Donald Trump was installed near Interstate 15 just outside of Las Vegas, immediately drawing a backlash from the former president’s supporters.

    > The foam-and-rebar art installation, weighing about 6,000 pounds, is titled “Crooked and Obscene,” and is expected to travel to other cities, although dates and cities for the tour have not been announced, according to The Wrap.

    > The artists behind the “anatomically correct” statue, who want to stay anonymous, said in a statement that the former president’s nudity was “intentional, serving as a bold statement on transparency, vulnerability, and the public personas of political figures.” But Republicans, as one might expect, are livid.

    > “While families drive through Las Vegas, they are forced to view this offensive marionette, designed intentionally for shock value rather than meaningful dialogue,” the Nevada Republican Party said in a statement, according to The Telegraph.

    > Right-wing influencer Ian Miles Cheong posted on X that Trump, if elected president, “should jail everyone who was a part of this effigy’s creation.”

    > Fellow right-wing conspiracy theorist Catturd (real name Phillip Buchanan) called the people behind the statue “demons,” piggybacking on yet another right-wing influencer’s post calling the art piece “POLITICAL VIOLENCE.”

    > While these right-wing figures are freaking out, this isn’t even the first instance where a nude Trump statue has been erected. In 2016, just before the election, five small naked Trump statues went up on street corners in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Cleveland, Seattle, and New York City, only to be taken down by local authorities because the artist didn’t secure a permit.

    > The artists behind this latest art project are pretty tight-lipped, so there’s no word on if they secured a permit themselves. On a related note, Trump on Sunday told supporters in Wisconsin that if he wasn’t campaigning, “I could’ve been sunbathing on the beach. You have never seen a body so beautiful. Much better than Sleepy Joe.” He probably won’t like this statue, though, and definitely won’t add it to his NFT trading card collection.

  3. those clowns are so weird and creepy it was a coin toss over whether they’d get triggered or worship it

  7. MMW, one of the MAGA faithful will shoot at the statue… and miss.

    Then the rest of the cult will blame it on the libs again.

  9. Lol. You know some of those alpha MAGAts are pulling their puds to images of it.

  10. Fuck maga amd their double standards. No more tolerance for the intolerant.

  11. Kinda rich seeming it’s Vegas where you have strollers rolling down the strip and half naked people asking to take pictures with them.
    Only difference is that more likely than not, if it were anatomically correct, most likely wouldn’t even see his thing.

  14. Isn’t Kamala and Biden painted on the back of trucks hogtied shock tactics! What meaningful dialogue are the owners trying to create?Isn’t it dreadful that families are exposed to this? One rule for me and another rule for thee

  16. But it’s not coming from the leaders right? It’s the people.
    gop leaders directly endorse this stuff.

  17. I cannot wait until this truly pathetic excuse for a man is gone.

  19. Whining little bitches. They find all things about Kamala, Joe and Obama funny. They say fuck your feelings, if we say anything about it. So, all I have to say is, “Fuck Your Feelings”

  20. Isn’t it funny how art can spark outrage? Next, they’ll want to ban paintbrushes for causing feelings!

  22. Hmmm but calling for “the purge” isn’t? This is getting tiresome. Hate speech is not protected speech.

  26. The obese orange blob is upsetting because its far more accurate than shitzler riding a lion, or having abs. He has 1 ab. One big roly poly pasty white ab that runs from his moobys all the way down to shade his tiny wee wee. That picture of health hasn’t seen his feet in over 30 years.

  27. If it’s anatomically correct, there would be nothing to worry about being offensive. unless they are offended by just a bush of wiry grey hair, going by some the old codgers in the gym and referencing Stormy. But I hope the artist, an American Lucien Freud, did justice to the saggy moobs and flappy glutes.

  28. Please bring this to ohio. You can put it in my front yard.😄

  29. Well they do have a point. It’s violent to our eyeballs.

  30. Are these the same folks with the decals on their trucks of Biden bound and gagged? Huh.

  31. But decals of the current President hogtied on the back of your pick up truck is in no way advocating for violence, huh?

  32. Conservatives call for jailing the people who made this.

    Aren’t they the free speech party???

  33. These chodes will commit violence over anything. They are the most hateful and paranoid snowflake ass bitches with the biggest feelings.

  34. Trump was just talking about his “beautiful” body. This must be what he meant.

  35. Send in the National Guard the first time they try it and let these domestic terrorists find out what’s up.

  37. These are the people making jokes about Kamala giving BJs to get into power. This is mild in comparison.
