Junior calling for downed statues to be placed with statues of his bloated father.

Trying to find evidence this is satire...

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8453783/Donald-Trump-Jr-calls-downed-statues-replaced-likeness-father.html

Donald Trump Jr. has called for statues being pulled down across America to be replaced with a 'more sturdy' likeness of his father.

Twitter users were less sure of the idea with several mocking his suggestion, saying the whole point of the statues being taken down is 'to erase the monuments to racism'.

'The point of removing the statues is to erase the monuments to racism and intolerance, putting up a statue of RACIST @realDonaldTrump would mean we are continuing to erect monuments to racism,' one person tweeted.

Others pointed out irony in the president's son's idea.

'Not sure he understands what he's saying here,' one person flagged.

tearing them down.






Want to save our monuments?

Let’s get a movement going to replace any statue torn down during these riots with a new and more sturdy statue of @realDonaldTrump
.

The nonsense would stop instantly.




OTOH, it's a safe bet that Trump's already imagining statues of himself all over the country, and part of his rage over any actual statues being torn down is that he's afraid the same would be done to statues of him.

I vote for that "statue" (sculpture) of a naked DJT that was placed on a city street in New York not long after he was elected.

if it meant a Donald Trump statue would take its place. Which is probably a good way to insure the safety of the other statues, haha!
