The picture shown above was not A.I. generated. It is a real picture of a real statue that was recently erected at the Trump National Doral golf resort in Miami, Florida. It stands twenty two feet tall and was commissioned at large expense by some of Trump's cryptocurrency buddies.
It appears to depict the immediate aftermath of the alleged assassination attempt that occurred at a rally in Butler County, Pennsylvania on July 13th 2024. You might remember that event and how Trump appeared to bleed from his right ear. For a few days afterwards,he wore a tampon on that ear but miraculously the bullet left no scar whatsoever,
Traditionally, both here and the USA, statues are almost always commissioned to mark and celebrate the lives and achievements of great human beings who have made a real impact - benefiting their fellow citizens and their countries.
Obviously, such a statue would normally be installed in the years following the death of a great one but not so in the case of this statue. Looking back what has Donald Trump done to merit such a visible honour? Personally, I can think of nothing, nothing at all.
There has been too much bluster, too much boasting, too much falsehood. The truth of the matter is that Trump is a dead loss. He talks the talk but does not walk the walk.
It is pretty interesting to watch him falling apart from afar, falling asleep with swollen ankles, getting fatter, losing the plot. If he wasn't The President of the USA, you might pity him because dementia lies ahead for a significant number of elderly citizens. It's not something you would wish upon anybody... apart from one!
Trump acolyte Pastor Mark Burns dedicated the statue at a special unveiling ceremony on May 7th. He said, "This statue is a celebration of life. It is a symbol of resilience, freedom, patriotism, strength, and the willpower to keep fighting for the future of America.”
What utter yukky nonsense! Anybody with eyes should be able to see that Trump is a narcissistic grifting fraud of a president rather like the statue itself. It only appears to be golden but really it is merely covered with superficial gold leaf. The image is fake.
One glorious moment in the future, it will be torn down as surely as night follows day.
Everyone who had anything at all to do with creating and installing this piece of junk should be shamed of themselves.
ReplyDeleteThis is a gaudy statue which is supposed to bring genuine praise. Instead only emphasizes Trump's selfishness.
ReplyDeleteHe's so embarrassing.
ReplyDeleteAs some of your countrymen would unkindly but accurately remark, effing wanker.
ReplyDeleteThe phony only talks the fake talk and never walks the walk. I'm waiting for the day he disappears forever and his gilt statue too, along with all the tacky gilt added to the oval office and other places. The gold toilet could be installed somewhere as a watering hole for animals.
ReplyDeleteHow he has fooled so many people is beyond me.
ReplyDeleteA tacky, garbage statue for a tacky, garbage human being. He's an embarrassment, as are the people who continue to support him.
ReplyDeleteThe felon is a stain on the United States. A stain that will take a generation to remove in my humble opinion.
ReplyDeleteSince it's on the property of one of his golf courses it may stand for quite a while, until he kicks it and his children tear it down.
ReplyDeleteVulgar!
ReplyDeleteAs I always say- try living here right now.
ReplyDeleteThe sooner he and the awful statue are torn down, the better. The man's a menace.
ReplyDeleteOne of my teacher friends had a saying for her chatty students: "Silence is golden, duct tape is silver." Wish someone would slap a big ole strip of duct tape across his mouth.
ReplyDeleteI can't help but be reminded of the Old Testament story of Nebuchadnezzar's Golden Image (Book of Daniel, chapter 3). (That one was 27 m high, though, so would make the DT one look tiny...)

ReplyDeleteYou'd think a pastor would remember the Golden Calf, but alas...
ReplyDeletePS: I remain convinced that the "assassination" was a horrible set-up. One or more people in the stands behind him were killed; no doubt collateral damage in his book.
ReplyDeleteJust no
