Giant golden statue of Donald Trump on sale for $100,000 - as it's revealed it was made in Mexico

Giant golden statue of Donald Trump on sale for $100,000 goes on display at CPAC - as it's revealed the golden idol was made in Mexico

Donald Trump is set to make closing remarks at CPAC on Sunday, where he may just run into a golden bust of himself that was made in Mexico.

The statue of Trump has been one of the most buzzed about topics surrounding CPAC this week.

Tommy Zegan, 61, is the artist behind the statue and is willing to sell for anyone wanting to spend $100,000.

'He's wearing a business suit because he's a business man,' Zegan said to the New York Post. 'The red tie represents the Republican party, the red white and blue shorts represent the fact that he's a patriot.'

...

Ironically, POLITICO Playbook reveals that Zegan hails from Rosarito, Mexico, a country Trump publicly reviled throughout his presidency.

'It was made in Mexico,' said Zegan, who has a permanent resident visa in the country.

In a restaurant overlooking the water, where you can watch the lobstermen, grabbing what the next diner is gonna eat.

When I last went there in teh early 90's, a full lobster dinner with a BIG ass fresh caught lobster, rice, tortillas, beans, gauc, and soup or salad ... overlooking the ocean ... was like $15. I'm sure it's quite a lot more now, but that was best lobster meal I've ever had.

He-Who-Should-Never-Be-Mentioned. But I'm probably one of a tiny minority who still remember who Arthur Godfrey was. Ah, the joys of growing older...
