On Thursday, the San Antonio Express-News reported that a wax museum in San Antonio, Texas was forced to put away a sculpture of former President Donald Trump — because so many people were punching it in the face.


"Louis Tussaud's Waxworks on Alamo Plaza moved the wax figure of the former president to a storage room because a few museum visitors — with intense feelings and a lack of self-restraint — kept pummeling him," reported Randy Diamond. "They punched and scratched the figure, inflicting so much damage that management had it pulled from public view, said Clay Stewart, regional manager for Ripley Entertainment, which owns the wax museum."

The Trump sculpture will likely not be put back on display until the museum receives its sculpture of President Joe Biden.

Monuments to the Trump family have frequently been a subject of controversy. A wood carving of former First Lady Melania Trump unveiled in her hometown in 2019 was torched a year later.

1. Frankly, that would be a good reason to keep it on display.

Good way to give people a chance to unload their pent up rage.

of discarded hamderger wrapping papers.

Do continue punching the Nazi, even in effigy.

11. That would be a great money making roadside attraction.

The billboard would say:

Punch life size wax figure of Trump! Next Exit 3 Miles.
