Seriously, I swear the artist who made the monstrosity has massively punked the CPAC attendees. The statue is literally a giant troll doll with the former guy's head:

Also, read the artist's quotes in the following article - is he being straight? Or is he scamming the interviewer?
... Tommy Zegan, a California-based artist, created the Trump statue in response to the multiple pieces of art mocking Trump.
"Two years ago, when I saw all those statues of naked Trump and Trump on a toilet, I said, 'You know what? I can do better,' " Zegan told CNN Friday as attendees gathered around the statue to snap photos with it.
Zegan said the piece on display at CPAC is actually the fiberglass mold of the real, stainless steel sculpture currently stored in a warehouse in Tampa where it awaits a potentially high-profile showcase.
"It is museum-quality, and that's the one I'm eventually hoping to get in the Trump library," Zegan said. "It is literally priceless."
Btw, it's on sale for $100,000: https://nypost.com/2021/02/27/gold-trump-statue-on-sale-at-cpac-for-100000/
