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

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 14 points 5 days ago

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.

[-] FilthyHookerSpit@lemmy.world 11 points 4 days ago

Like the fact that SS knew about the shooter way before he even set up his rifle? Or the lack of investigation into the guy? I mean they went on and on and on about hunters laptop but an actual attempt on Trump's life? Never mentioned before this.

[-] Jamablaya@lemmy.world 10 points 4 days ago

"lack of investigation" is fairly normal when the person is dead. Anyways, it's really, really, really obvious the Secret Service decided to let the kid take his shot before they killed him.

[-] RedditIsDeddit@lemmy.world 11 points 4 days ago

Such a gigantic ego for such a loser.

I hope statesia can figure their shit out and not have to remove him the same way, but I'm not optimistic

So so close...

[-] KingPorkChop@lemmy.ca 36 points 5 days ago

The world will be a better place when he's dead.

Now this MF is building “statues” of himself. How many red flags can they “slip” past?

[-] Irelephant@lemm.ee 26 points 5 days ago

There are plans to create a 9-foot-tall version in bronze in the works, according to the project’s website.

Good fucking lord.

[-] RedditIsDeddit@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago

We'll just cut the head off that down theroad.

[-] Irelephant@lemm.ee 5 points 4 days ago

I look forward to seeing the video of you guys pulling the statue down.

[-] DaddleDew@lemmy.world 55 points 5 days ago

Fucking pathetic

[-] humanspiral@lemmy.ca 26 points 5 days ago

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.

Oh good, that'll make a beautiful visual as well pull that piece of shit down!

[-] MordercaSkurwysyn@lemm.ee 15 points 4 days ago

What happened to right wingers? I clearly remember that narcism was universally considered a bad trait especially among conservatives. How are they accepting that?

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 18 points 4 days ago

What ever gave you the impression conservatives didn't glorify narcissists?

There are plans to create a 9-foot-tall version in bronze in the works, according to the project’s website.

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...

[-] futatorius@lemm.ee 5 points 4 days ago

Another grift. Should have known.

[-] superkret@feddit.org 25 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

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?

[-] CoffeeJunkie@lemmy.cafe 6 points 4 days ago

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.

First job of the next president: melt it down.

that thing is hideous, and it's only real resemblance to trump is that look of abject stupidity.

[-] Sibbo@sopuli.xyz 37 points 5 days ago

If the assassination attempt would have worked, Kamala could still have put up that statue, as a memorial of the victory over fascism.

[-] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 25 points 5 days ago

If Trump was killed during her campaign Harris would've used her campaign money to try and revive him in the interest of civility and bipartisanship.

they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.

[-] futatorius@lemm.ee 6 points 4 days ago

"What an accurate reproduction of the shit running down his leg."

[-] D_C@lemm.ee 14 points 4 days ago

Here's the thing...
He's a fat useless cunt.
The end.

[-] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 22 points 5 days ago

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.

[-] peetabix@sh.itjust.works 8 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Looks like that guy on the left is humping Trumps leg.

edit: Turns out its a woman.

[-] CoffeeJunkie@lemmy.cafe 4 points 4 days ago

That's the woman. Who, ironically, couldn't adequately cover Trump's body mass. 😂

Anyone who calls any piece of work, which depicts Donald Trump as “art” I’d like to have a word with.

Mostly to beat them to death for their idiocy
