You know how Democrats are always saying that Trump should be more classy, and that he should tone down the rhetoric?
Well, after years of legal abuse and defamation, it’s clear they’re projecting – but it’s especially clear that they’re accusing Trump of what they are doing after a giant nude statue of the former president was erected in Arizona.
A giant nude statue depicting former President Donald Trump has made its way to Phoenix, sparking curiosity and controversy. The massive figure, titled “Crooked and Obscene,” first appeared in Las Vegas earlier this week and has now landed in central Phoenix. The statue, which weighs nearly 6,000 pounds and stands over 40 feet tall, has garnered attention for both its size and its provocative subject matter.
According to a press release from those behind the project, the statue is meant to stir conversation about political power and leadership. “The title reflects the controversial aspects attributed to both the figure represented and the nature of the installation itself,” the release states. The organizers claim the project is intended to encourage open dialogue, though some see it as more of a shock tactic.
The origins of the statue, however, remain murky. Individuals associated with the project have refused to identify themselves, adding to the intrigue surrounding its appearance. The statue is currently located off Washington Street and 24th Street in Phoenix, but the area around it is private property and not open to the public. Businesses in the area, including a cannabis dispensary, have distanced themselves from the installation.
This is the second stop for the traveling statue, with its next destination unknown. Both Arizona and Nevada, where the statue was previously displayed, are considered key battleground states in the upcoming general election on November 5.
While some people have stopped to take photos of the striking statue, it has also faced significant backlash. When the statue appeared in Las Vegas, it was condemned by Nevada’s Republican Party. “The Nevada Republican Party strongly condemns the deplorable statue of President Donald J. Trump recently hung from a crane along Interstate 15,” read a statement shared on X (formerly Twitter). The party criticized the statue for its shock value and labeled it inappropriate for families driving through the area.
The statue’s bold design and the controversy surrounding it underscore the deep political divisions ahead of the 2024 election. As it continues its journey, the installation will likely keep drawing attention and stirring debate about the state of political discourse in America today.
And by debate, we really mean outrage. Because most Americans see how disgusting this is. Surely?
