Artist Tommy Zegan, 61, made the piece while in Mexico, where he currently leaves under a residency visa He transported it to Tampa before bringing it to CPAC in a U-Haul, where he is hoping to sell it for $100,000 Zegan made another version of the bust out of stainless steel, which he wants to sell for over $1 million Donald Trump himself is set to give the closing remarks at CPAC in Orlando, Florida on Sunday evening ...
...'He's wearing a business suit because he's a business man,' Zegan said to the New York Post. 'The red tie represents the Republican party, the red white and blue shorts represent the fact that he's a patriot.' Trump is wearing sandals in the statue, an ode to a life he could be living were he to retire.
Zegan titled the piece 'Trump and his Magic Wand,' a reference to a comment Trump's predecessor made about needing a 'magic wand' to revive jobs in the United States.

I think its kind of tacky
this is very wrong.
“golden calf”
hideous
That’s what the left is calling it on other websites. Not good.
If that thing is at Cpac, someone should throw a paper bag over it.
Better yet, melt it.
Looks like it belongs in front of a Frisch’s Big Boy!
The Left has their own golden calf, known as The State. Hypocrites.
Seriously? "Not good". Why in the name of all that is holy are you taking this all so seriously??
Don't we have real problems to get upset about?
So what.
Grotesque
He deserves better than a comical depiction as the left always presented him as a joke. From the baby balloon to countless other images like this.
Oh, please stop. I don't think an overreaction to this (and yes, I think yours is) speaks well for our side, at all.
Lighten up and save the angst and upset for real problems.
It’s gross. The hair is wrong. Doesn’t look like him. The outfit is a mockery of Our Flag and of President Trump.
That artist and statue should be thrown out.
It’s ugly...
Certainly not worth a million dollars.
Had this not found it’s way into The CPAC Event but was in a parade that would be different........C-PAC is not the time nor the place......Optics matter...... so we’ll continue to disagree.
Lighten up.
Those who take everything so darn seriously quickly appear silly.
