I hope statesia can figure their shit out and not have to remove him the same way, but I'm not optimistic
Such a gigantic ego for such a loser.
Monuments to oneself are a classic dictator move
He's in the shallow end of the pool, but he's going to keeping getting worse and more unhinged
... Shallow end of the pool with a goddamned diaper on...
There are plans to create a 9-foot-tall version in bronze in the works
Oh good, that'll make a beautiful visual as well pull that piece of shit down!
If he is gonna spend public money to worship himself, I at least expect the statue to be slightly higher quality than this piece of crap.
It was quite an artistic choice to make the female secret service agent look like she is cowering in fear rather than the reality that she was trying to tackle/take a bullet for the dumbass target who wouldnt stay down.
Then by comparison you have the male agent who looks like hes at the beach and not even concerned about gunfire at all. Its actually impressive how much misogyny is dripping out of this statue
Not to mention we all know Trump was not anywhere close to the tallest of the people on that stage
This makes me more suspicious that the whole fucking thing was staged
I doubt it as many people hate Trump and want him to die. He definitely leaned into the whole victim thing but I'm sure the attempt was real.
Holy fuck that's so cringe. What a fucking narcissist.
Now this MF is building “statues” of himself. How many red flags can they “slip” past?

Good fucking lord.
We'll just cut the head off that down theroad.
I look forward to seeing the video of you guys pulling the statue down.
"What an accurate reproduction of the shit running down his leg."
What happened to right wingers? I clearly remember that narcism was universally considered a bad trait especially among conservatives. How are they accepting that?
What ever gave you the impression conservatives didn't glorify narcissists?
Only the dictator can be a narcissist
BTW, Trump was never hit by a bullet. He hurt his ear when a SS guard rushed to cover him and hit him with his gun holster.

The site asks for contributions ranging from $10, which will earn donors a vote on the location of where the statue will be permanently installed, to $25,000 to receive a limited quarter-life-size bronze replica.
Contributors who give $4,500 will receive a 12-inch sculpture. “These sculptures are the same one’s [sic] being offered to big money donors to The Trump Campaign,” the site says.
Jesus fucking Christ...
Another grift. Should have known.
Fucking pathetic
symbolizes the divine intervention as well as the man and his message of unity and resilience for which America stands
So, Jesus "giving his own life" (for 3 days) is a huge deal, and a huge sacrifice, but then God kinda "volunteers" Corey Comperatore to die for Trump, without asking?
It gets messy when people act like God has an active hand in every single little thing that happens. It's right up there with "everything happens for a reason". You know, rape happens for a reason. You just don't know why yet.
I like to frame it as free will & sometimes things just...happen. Accidents happen. Free will principle. Sometimes bad things happen because of bad people, sometimes bad things happen because you're stupid...it just seems to make more sense than an overly involved god.
they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
that thing is hideous, and it's only real resemblance to trump is that look of abject stupidity.
If the assassination attempt would have worked, Kamala could still have put up that statue, as a memorial of the victory over fascism.
Looks like that guy on the left is humping Trumps leg.
edit: Turns out its a woman.
Here's the thing...
He's a fat useless cunt.
The end.
So self-involved
I hope Obama wins the presidency back via the traditional leadership challenge of Hell In A Cell and then puts this statuette up his bum on live TV.
