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 agree...
I keep reading the left refer to this as a graven image, a golden idol, the republican version of a golden calf (worship). What happened to “statue?”
I don’t like the statue but the left’s spin is pathetic.
It looks more like Bart Simpson than it does President Trump.
Not even close....
Since the thread is about this statue anyone can comment on how they see it.....I see it as cheap and tacky because it is. If you’re having a problem with peoples opinions unfavorable about this statue then you can always scroll on by.

Ugly and stupid...
what a piece of crap. glad to hear cpac did not pay for it. i would not have let it in the door.
Patriotic shorts and flip flops? Is this guy a mole?
Buffoon like, the rats are laughing
GMTA.
Of course they are...can’t really blame them...the guy is there to make a fast buck as well. Not just hoping to sell it but likely charging for people to have their photos taken with it.
I don’t like anything about it. Tacky,vulgar gauche and out of proportion.
Now Melania feels better about that awful statue made for her over in Slovenia. The one that looks like an oak tree wearing a light blue dress.
As a student of propaganda art, I believe this artist is obviously a Leftist Saboteur.
Funny how the Godless left references the bible when it suits them.
Disrespectful!!!!
Those who don’t see the wrongness of this appear quite callous
