Trump campaign considers displaying statues at future rallies: Sources

[brooklynite]

Source: ABC News

A potential new addition to President Trump’s future rallies: statues.

The idea has been discussed by White House and Trump campaign aides, but no final decision has been made, sources familiar with the planning told ABC News. It’s also not clear who exactly the statues would resemble, but sources say one idea was for “America’s Founding Fathers."

The potential move comes as the president continues to condemn those who are calling for the removal of controversial monuments -- a push from activists that first focused on Confederate monuments and for some has since expanded to other historical figures.

1. That'll really drum up votes. Bwahahaha.

What a marooooon.

[live love laugh]

2. I thought statue worship was anti-Christian. nt

[Judi Lynn]

22. Just call them "graven images." It's definitely mentioned, by golly! n/t

[mercuryblues]

3. Oh, so he's bringing Pence with him. n/t

[LastDemocratInSC]

5. Good one.

[reACTIONary]

29. LOL nt

[Captain Zero]

41. Pence and Melania show up at most of the rallies anyway, don't they?

who else Putin, Mueller,
Grassley would make a nice statue.
Watch him hire some GOP trucking company to cart them around... for big bucks.

[LunaSea]

4. Bet they make

Putins statue taller than real life.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

7. On a horse. . . . nt

[bucolic_frolic]

6. Oh! Will they be sitting in Clint Eastwood's empty chair?

I've heard of straw men, but a rally worshipping the dead? I'm guessing MAGAzis are a new religion.

[ZenDem]

8. I'll bring the pigeons.

Gotta make sure they're well fed, first.

[Marthe48]

9. get melania to pole dance naked

yeah, that'll bring the crowds

[tanyev]

10. There'll be one of Trump, of course.

The only question is whether he'll allow any of those loser Founding Fathers to share the stage with him.

[Scarsdale]

23. I hope the one of tRump

is that naked one that made the rounds a few months ago. That plus the baby tRump balloons would be perfect.

[smb]

32. Here's A Statue He Could Use!

[tanyev]

34. Thank you for using an edited picture!

[wnylib]

35. Ditto. Double thanks. Hurts my old eyes

to look at tiny things.

[NCjack]

11. Great collection of ideas! Too bad Jeff Epstein can't be in attendance. nt

[Gore1FL]

12. A Golden Calf would be nice. nt

[niyad]

24. The Golden Calf is sacred to the Goddess, and She would preferNOT to be associated in any

way with that creature currently despoiling OUR HOUSE.

[Javaman]

13. this is comedic gold! LOL nt

[hibbing]

14. Your grandparents are dead, but the statues are alive! n/t

[uncle ray]

15. About 30000 would fill an arena.

Trumps terra cotta rally

[wnylib]

36. Good one.

[w0nderer]

16. wrong and not PC as it may be...

''Every freak needs a sideshow''

guess that fits the situation

and the crowd he pulls

[Harker]

17. The only one I'd like to see is Il Commendatore

from Mozart's "Don Giovanni."

[hatrack]

18. Now that I'd pay to see!

[Harker]

21. The look of disbelief

upon receiving the icy grip... I'd pay, too.

[Initech]

19. Idea: Why don't we just replace his audience with statues?

And then pipe in the crowd noise? Bet he wouldn't know the difference!

[TomVilmer]

20. I am sure Trump could borrow this one for his rallies...

[niyad]

25. Should not insult the pagan gods like that. Baphomet is not amused.

[ucrdem]

26. don't forget the gladiators

and tigers

[Mrs. Overall]

27. I thought this was, perhaps, satire.... but no.

[Politicub]

28. How stupid. Sounds like a cheesy trade show gimmick.

Like having a styrofoam replica of The Thinker in a company’s booth for photo ops. Which is something that I’ve seen and it looks ridiculous as it sounds.

[wnylib]

37. It's a cheezy trade show oresidency.

[truthisfreedom]

30. Ooh, way to spice up his failure rallies.

[CRK7376]

31. So who is going to pay for these

statues? Are they wax, concrete, marble, paper mache...or is he going to have a trailer hauling to his rallies removed Confederate Leaders Lee, Stuart, Stonewall Jackson on a Horse etc....What a joke.

33. The wooden Melania in Slovenia

was set on fire and he hasn't mentioned that.

[wnylib]

38. It's Slovenia. But an easy mix up to make.

To keep them straight and avoid insulting the Slovaks, just remember that Slovenia has the word "sloven" in it to describe her.

[torius]

43. Thank you. Corrected.

[wnylib]

44. And I just corrected my own

mistake in my earlier post. It was a typo where I left the "l" out of Slovenia in the post header. LOL.

[GulfCoast66]

39. Please, Please, Please do this!

I can just imagine his campaign guys tying to convince him it is a bad idea

[denem]

40. Custer, Pickett, Calley and Arnold.

[NurseJackie]

42. How long before he's displaying the Confederate Battle Flag alongside the US Flag?

And will he be hugging that too?

[RobinA]

45. Oh My

In some cases an actual dog and pony show.
