Golden statue of Trump at CPAC ridiculed online
The Hill ^ | 2/26/2021 | Celine Castronuovo

A golden statue of former President Trump was unveiled late Thursday at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Orlando, Fla., quickly prompting ridicule from social media users, many of whom compared it to the Old Testament account of the Golden Calf. Video showed the statue being rolled out through hallways at the annual right-wing conference. The structure includes a golden figure of Trump wearing a suit jacket and red tie, paired with American-flag shorts and flip flops. Several people stopped to pose with the statue, with one woman saying, "Awesome," and another person commenting, "That is so cool." Another person can then be heard in the video starting to chant, "four more years." Despite the praise from attendees, social media users argued that the statue showed some conservatives' unhealthy obsession with Trump, with one Twitter user jokingly writing, "I asked CPAC if they were afraid of offending God with a golden Trump statue and they said 'Trump is God.'"

I’ve said since Trump was elected, “Judge a man by the enemies he makes.”

Yup. The vicious hatred hurled towards him by the Deep State RATs and Repukes confirms this man is truly for the people of America!

It is rather goofy but not a big deal.

I wonder whose bright idea it was to make a golden statue of Trump?

Kind of creepy-worshippy, IMO.

And I do like Trump.

Only his hair is golden on the statue. It’s just more fake news.

It’s not really that flattering is it. DJT may even make fun of it.

A few years back I saw a pic of one of Trump’s bathrooms.

The fixtures were gold. Solid, I think, not plated.

I bet Trump’ll have some fun with that statue.

It looks like one from the Babylon Bee. Imagine Melania's reaction. Uff-da.
