Giant Two-Story Statue of President Trump Being Created By Ohio Artist, To Be Unveiled At The Inauguration

A giant, two-story sized statue of President Trump has been commissioned and is currently under creation by an Ohio artist and will hopefully be unveiled at the January 20th Inauguration.

Wow!

Here are some early sneak peaks:

Breitbart reports the statue was commissioned by a group of crypto investors involved with the $PATRIOT coin:

President-elect Donald Trump is being honored with a larger-than-life two-story tall bronze statue, which is being shaped to capture his iconic defiance in the wake of the assassination attempt on his life in Butler, Pennsylvania, last July.

Breitbart News has obtained exclusive photos of the statue, which is still under construction. Backers behind the project hope to unveil the finished product at Trump’s inauguration.

Crypto investors with the project $PATRIOT commissioned Ohio artist Alan Cottrill to create the bronze statue after Trump was nearly assassinated in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13, 2024. Trump’s pro-crypto policies also helped motivate backers to support the project, Breitbart News has learned.

Cottrill is working to capture Trump’s courage and defiance immediately after being shot. In iconic fashion, Trump rose with a bloodied face and pumped his fist as he repeatedly shouted, “Fight!” to his supporters before U.S. Secret Service agents rushed him off stage.

Cottrill, who also created the Thomas Edison statue in Statuary Hall in the U.S. Capitol, said in a statement shared with Breitbart News that this is the largest figure he has ever set out to create.

“I’ve sculpted and cast 400 life size or larger bronze statues across America and the Patriot Statue is our largest single figure to date,” he said.

Along with forging the Edison statue in 2016, Cottrill has also fashioned statues of several other presidents for universities and museums.

“The Patriot Statue of Donald J. Trump was our largest and most controversial undertaking, especially considering the scale and relevance of the event in Butler that took place,” Cottrill said.

Dustin Stockton, who helped lead the project, detailed the process that Cottrill is undertaking to forge the statue.

First, Cottrill sculpts a clay mold, and then individual bronze pieces are shaped based on the mold. The bronze pieces are then welded together and buffed out, creating the final product. Stockton estimated the statue would be completed by the New Year.

“The statue had to be Trumpian. It had to be larger than life and over the top,” Stockton told Breitbart News.

He noted that he has spoken with several members of the Inaugural Committee about the logistics of unveiling it at the inauguration.

After the unveiling, the statue will embark on a year-long cross-country tour on the back of an 18-wheeler with a crane, Stockton said.

Once the tour is completed, those involved with the project hope the statue can be displayed in Butler before ultimately being placed forever at the eventual Trump Presidential Library.

“It’s been one hell of a ride the last decade; the PATRIOT project, statue, and tour is our way of claiming how these incredible times are remembered by history,” Stockton said.

It is unclear where exactly the statue would go in Butler and whether or not it could stand on the Butler Farm Show grounds where Trump was shot, but Stockton has spoken with some people in the county about potentially placing it there.

During a phone call with Breitbart News on Tuesday morning, Butler County Board of Commissioner Vice Chair Kim Geyer, who has been in contact with Stockton, noted that the grounds are private property, meaning it is up to the Farm Show grounds’ board of directors rather than the county to place it there.

Let’s just hope it turns out better than the Dwayne Wade statute.

Have you seen that?

They did Wade very wrong with this abomination:

The memes came immediately:

Some said it was appropriate:

Check out Wade’s reaction upon first seeing it….

Dude does NOT look happy:

But of course perhaps the worst statue in recent times is the recent “rooster” they “erected” to honor Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Have you seen this thing?

Disrespectful is an understatement:

DISRESPECTFUL: The New MLK “Embrace” Statue Dishonors Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Oh my...how disrespectful!

Look, this is one of those articles I'm not going to tell you what I think, I'm just going to show you what a lot of other people think and show you pictures and video for yourself and let YOU decide.

Let's start off with the background.

A giant bronze statue was commissioned in Boston to honor the late, great Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Nice, right?

Unfortunately, sometimes things sound better on paper than they do when finished.

The idea for the statue was to honor this famous photo:

Unfortunately, they decided to cut off the heads and the result is, well, you decide...

When it's being described as "veiny" that's when I think you've got some problems:

Now, it could just be a bad angle, so let's watch the full video:

Yikes, not much better....

I feel like we definitely need to tune in and get a "not White person" opinion here for full and balanced reporting:

This is probably the most favorable angle:

Oh my:

Is it pornographic?

Opinions seem to vary depending on the angle you look at.

It's either a giant rooster or a person's head between two legs.

Either way, I think the quote from above was "aesthetically unpleasant":

Giant turd?

It's a giant something...

Cutting off the heads seems to have been a poor choice:

Others have pointed out it has the Masonic "G" from the view above:

From Fox News:

Fox35 reports:

Annual tributes and commemorations of the life and legacy of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. began nationwide Friday and included the unveiling of a statue in Boston.

The 20-foot-high bronze sculpture called "The Embrace" is said to be one of the country’s largest memorials dedicated to racial equity.

When looking at the sculpture, you’ll see four intertwined arms — inspired by a photo of the civil rights leader and his wife, Coretta Scott King, when they learned he had won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964.

King first met his wife in Boston in the early 1950s, when he was a doctoral student in theology at Boston University and she was studying at the New England Conservatory of Music.

"My parents’ time in Boston is often a forgotten part of their history – and the history of the movement they helped inspire," said Martin Luther King, III in a press release. "The Embrace is a commemoration of their relationship and journey and represents the meaningful role Boston served in our history."

So sad that this will be the legacy:
