Satirical Donald Trump statue installed in Washington

Anonymous artists installed a large, golden satirical statue of U.S. President Donald Trump at the National Mall in Washington, D.C. The sculpture depicts the president sitting and holding his right foot, making a face.

The artwork mocks Trump’s past medical exemption from military service due to bone spurs. A plaque at the base, titled “The Private,” describes him as a “soldier of spirit” who marched to the “front line of draft evasion” using a medical diagnosis.

This installation is part of a larger collection of over ten satirical works placed throughout the capital. Other pieces in the display include a representation of Trump and Jeffrey Epstein holding hands, as well as a replica of former Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s desk featuring fake excrement to reference the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot.

In response to the installation, White House spokesperson Davis Ingle issued a statement claiming that “Trump disruption syndrome” is an incurable disease affecting Democratic activists, asserting that the president will always fight to protect the American people.
