Nude statue of Donald Trump raising eyebrows in San Francisco

While police in NY city were quick to remove the statue from Union Square, copies in the west coast cities of San Francisco, Los Angeles and Seattle were still there nine hours later, The Daily Beast reported. They are of a stern-faced Trump with his hands folded over a bulging belly.

The Naked Trump installation in New York City at Union Square only lasted until around 1 p.m. on Thursday before park services tore it down. While several people took pictures with the statue, others shouted anti-Trump slogans.

“NYC Parks stands firmly against any unpermitted erection in city parks, no matter how small”, the statement said.

During a speech on Thursday, Trump admitted that he regretted some of his remarks on the campaign trail. After following the Republican presidential candidate’s public appearances for the past months, members of the anarchist collective INDECLINE reportedly began to imagine what Trump would look like without his suit, his tie, his shined shoes, and his perfectly arranged hair.

This morning at 8:30, San Francisco supervisor Scott Wiener will hold a news conference, along with the owner of Lefty O’Doul’s, to talk about their plans to try to convince the city to give the statue to the restaurant.

The group tapped artist Joshua Monroe to design the statue because of his background in designing monsters for movies and haunted houses.

“Like it or not, Trump is a larger-than-life figure in world culture at the moment”, the spokesman told The Washington Post.

So who made those statues?

The project, which was done by a Las Vegas sculptor who goes by the name “Ginger”, was dubbed “The Emperor Has No Balls”, and was partially inspired by the Hans Christian Andersen story “The Emperor’s New Clothes”, according to a statement from the group.

“I wanted him to be a little on the frowning side”. Apparently the Clinton statue may yet appear.
