Bronze statue of DJT to be unveiled at Capitol One Arena Saturday Evening

[allegorical oracle]

My apologies that the source is likely regarded as RW. But believe it's uniquely newsworthy.

An Ohio artist has forged a larger-than-life 15-foot-tall, $1 million bronze statue of President Trump that will tour the country before eventually ending up at a future Trump presidential library.

Sculptor Alan Cottrill’s “Don Colossus” immortalizes the iconic moment Trump defiantly pumped his fist into the air after narrowly escaping an assassination attempt during a rally in Butler, PA on July 13.

--snip

The bronze will be unveiled Saturday evening at the Capital One Arena in Washington D.C. It’s then expected to tour the country.

It was commissioned by several dozen wealthy crypto-currency investors as a tribute to the president, who they hope will be a friend of the industry.

And now it begins.

[allegorical oracle]

12. Yeah, he's going the full Saddam. What's an authoritarian without a statue? But Saddam's (the

one that was torn down) was bigger -- 39 ft. tall.

[milestogo]

16. I think we can do it.

[travelingthrulife]

3. Gross. By then the MAGAS will be so pissed at being used by Traitor Trump, they

might tear it down.

Their Golden Calf.

[Andy823]

13. Yep the Bible had a golden calf

yep instead of a golden calf, the trump cult gets a bronze PIG.

[SheltieLover]

4. ..

[The Madcap]

5. Idolatry

That's what it is.

[dalton99a]

6. What he really wants

[milestogo]

7. As if Capitol One were not already offensive enough.

[chicoescuela]

8. He will depicted the same as those stupid NFTs

with bulging muscles, beautiful head of hair and a large package and not the dumpy fat ass he really is.

[magicarpet]

9. Greasing djt's ego so their moments of financial intimacy,...

... are more fruitful and enjoyable.

Everything is a transactional event when it comes to dealing with the Fuhrer.

[sop]

10. Bronze? Not gold?

[Turbineguy]

11. I'm afraid I'll miss that tour.

[Celerity]

14. hideously ugly

[milestogo]

17. What was that story about king Midas?

Seems like there was no happy ending.

[4th]

20. Aggressively ugly, but deliberately so. Very skillfully ...

... gets the message across.

Like a lot of protest art, though on the side of the ruling class.

[Disaffected]

25. Well at least he got the wrinkles

in the suit right.

[crazylikafox]

38. But is he wearing high heels?

[Buns_of_Fire]

46. Hands too big, gut too small.

But at least there looks to be enough room on the arm and shoulder to be a nice restroom facility for at least 10 pigeons (with 3 or 4 more on top of his head).

[allegorical oracle]

52. The artist used a bit of license...the feet are larger and the fingers are longer than the

subject's. The stomach is trimmer. Can't figure the head-hair situation. Is that a hat? Or is it a poofy wave of hair?

[CrispyQ]

55. The hat looks weird, the gut's too small & there's no rooster thing going on under Trump's chin,

but other than that it's more true-to-life than I thought it would be.

[underpants]

59. Has that false idol feel to it.

I am…….Irony Man!

[highplainsdem]

64. Definitely.

[wcmagumba]

15. Too bad eggs are in short supply, maybe some tomatoes....ha ha...

[4th]

18. Aren't you supposed to wait until he's dead or at least out of office?

Reminds me of ... not so much the big baddies like Stalin or Hitler but rather ...

This guy.

19. Odds a MAGA steals it for the copper

100 percent

[3catwoman3]

21. Gawd, how pathetic.

The hands are too big, and the bronze hair looks worse than his real hair, which I would not have thought possible.

[Deuxcents]

26. His ball cap is on sideways and yep, the hands are way too big.

He got the one eye half shut and his scowl right. Pretty much slimmer, too

[dweller]

29. The tie

Is too short



✌🏻

[greatauntoftriplets]

43. He's relatively thin, too.

[bigtree]

22. a good target

[marmar]

23. To quote Aldous Huxley:

“Maybe this world is another planet’s hell.”

[sop]

28. Great quote.

[3catwoman3]

65. No maybe about it for the next 4 years.

[Dulcinea]

24. "It's then expected to tour the country."

The grift is unending. Barnum was right.

[Ocelot II]

27. Even Reagan wasn't fawned over like this, and most of the fawning occurred

after he was dead. This is just disgusting and insane and absurd, but it's not a cult, right?

Anybody remember what happened to that statue of Saddam Hussein?

[sop]

31. Anyone remember what happened to Saddam Hussein?

Gadhafi, Mussolini, Hitler?

[Ocelot II]

32. I haven't forgotten.

Regardless of how Trump meets his demise, he will meet it.

[sop]

36. Sooner rather than later.

[Dee0909]

45. We can only hope

We can only hope

[keithbvadu2]

30. Cult worship

[Ping Tung]

33. Are the True Believers to bring lambs to sacrifice to the idol?

[Ocelot II]

35. Not lambs. Just immigrants, trans people, women. The usual.

[Xoan]

34. The Stupid runs deep.

[usonian]

37. Just turn off the heater in the Capitol Rotunda instead. Instant statue.

[yorkster]

63. Trumpsicle...

[debm55]

39. That is so ugly.

[fargone]

40. Will we be able to write things on it with a sharpie?

[eShirl]

41. yes, worship the golden calf

it feels good, doesn't it MAGA?

[Drum]

42. The bigger they are, the harder they fall.

[Cha]

66. No question.. TY for the Reminder.

Well Said..

[Traildogbob]

49. Capital One

Just lost a multi Million dollar law suit for robbing clients from fake aSS promised interest payments. Who better than them for hosting the incoming thieves and liars?
Pardon coming Monday for their loss.
The whole birds and feathers thingy applies.

[tanyev]

50. Trumpymandias.

I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desart.[d] Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed:
And on the pedestal these words appear:
"My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"
No thing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.

— Percy Shelley, "Ozymandias", 1819 edition[17]

51. It's so bad it's funny

53. You shall worship no false gods...where the flying f did I hear that?

Or something similar.
Made him a little thinner too. Real life you probably can have a picnic in the shade of his belly.

60. Huh. The conservative denomination I was raised in taught that the 3 men who refused to bow

to a statue of King Nebuchadnezzar and were subsequently thrown into a fiery furnace were heroes.

I guess nowadays they would be accused of being woke.

Daniel 3:

Nebuchadnezzar’s Gold Statue

3 King Nebuchadnezzar made a gold statue ninety feet tall and nine feet wide[a] and set it up on the plain of Dura in the province of Babylon. 2 Then he sent messages to the high officers, officials, governors, advisers, treasurers, judges, magistrates, and all the provincial officials to come to the dedication of the statue he had set up. 3 So all these officials came and stood before the statue King Nebuchadnezzar had set up.

4 Then a herald shouted out, “People of all races and nations and languages, listen to the king’s command! 5 When you hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipes, and other musical instruments,[c] bow to the ground to worship King Nebuchadnezzar’s gold statue. 6 Anyone who refuses to obey will immediately be thrown into a blazing furnace.”

7 So at the sound of the musical instruments,[d] all the people, whatever their race or nation or language, bowed to the ground and worshiped the gold statue that King Nebuchadnezzar had set up.

8 But some of the astrologers[e] went to the king and informed on the Jews. 9 They said to King Nebuchadnezzar, “Long live the king! 10 You issued a decree requiring all the people to bow down and worship the gold statue when they hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipes, and other musical instruments. 11 That decree also states that those who refuse to obey must be thrown into a blazing furnace. 12 But there are some Jews—Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego—whom you have put in charge of the province of Babylon. They pay no attention to you, Your Majesty. They refuse to serve your gods and do not worship the gold statue you have set up.”

13 Then Nebuchadnezzar flew into a rage and ordered that Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego be brought before him. When they were brought in, 14 Nebuchadnezzar said to them, “Is it true, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, that you refuse to serve my gods or to worship the gold statue I have set up? 15 I will give you one more chance to bow down and worship the statue I have made when you hear the sound of the musical instruments.[f] But if you refuse, you will be thrown immediately into the blazing furnace. And then what god will be able to rescue you from my power?”

16 Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego replied, “O Nebuchadnezzar, we do not need to defend ourselves before you. 17 If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God whom we serve is able to save us. He will rescue us from your power, Your Majesty. 18 But even if he doesn’t, we want to make it clear to you, Your Majesty, that we will never serve your gods or worship the gold statue you have set up.”
