Would you take- allegedly the most traumatic event in your life- and make a statue out of it?

[riversedge]

Many of the comments state there was no assassination attempt.

I am behind of times related to the news as I did not know Trump
had this new so-called art work installed in the Oval Office.
I quickly scanned a few articles and none tell us who paid for it or if it was a gift.

The statue, which depicts the moment Trump raised his bloodied fist after being shot in the ear, now sits on a side table next to the Resolute Desk.


US President Donald Trump has added a new art piece to the Oval Office- a small sculpture capturing the dramatic aftermath of the July 2024 assassination attempt against him in Pennsylvania’s Butler.

The statue, complete with the Secret Service agents who bundled the president to the ground, captures the moment Trump raised his fist in the air and shouted, “fight, fight, fight," after he was shot in the ear by shooter Matthew Thomas Crooks’ bullet on July 13 last year, now sits on a side table next to the Resolute Desk.

The White House has shared an image of the sculpture on X, captioning it with the president’s rallying cry, “Fight! Fight! Fight!"

...............

The figure was created by sculptor Stan Watts and “symbolizes the divine intervention as well as the man and his message of unity and resilience for which America stands," according to the Trump Statue Project’s website.........................

1. I don't know which is more ridiculous

"divine intervention" or "message of unity"

[misanthrope]

2. No, but I am not a sociopath either

Trump is likely to do any number of things that an emotionally and ethically normative person would not do.

What I noted is that the female agent appears to be depicted clinging to Trump in fear more than trying to protect him. Meanwhile the more visible male agent beside Trump is standing tall and vigilant. I am thinking that is completely deliberate.

8. Maybe

the female agent appears to be depicted clinging to Trump in fear more than trying to protect him.

Or she looks like she’s trying to lift a 300 pound blob.

18. lol!

3. He's seeking the sanctification afforded to martyrs, without actual martyrdom.

"I, your Glorious Leader, almost died for you ! If only my enemies had better aim !"


Where's the statue for the former fire chief who was killed on that occasion ?

[RockRaven]

4. No, but I also don't muse about "dating" my daughter, or accept bribes from foreign

governments, or knowingly socialize with pedos and murderers, or a million other things the Orange Anus does daily.

[Permanut]

5. If it walks like a false flag .

Looks like a false flag, acts like a false flag, smells like a false flag...

[Kaleva]

10. And yet there isn't one bit of evidence to suggest it was

People aren’t rational creatures and can convince themselves to believe anything regardless of the evidence or lack of evidence.

[travelingthrulife]

15. And we never would hear about it if they paid the kid to take a shot over the crowd.

Who would admit it. The kid is dead.

[Kaleva]

17. Any evidence that the kid was paid?

People can convince themselves to believe anything regardless of evidence to the contrary or total lack of evidence that would support their belief

[blogslug]

6. There's a painting of it too, in the Cross Hall of the White House

[TlalocW]

7. Honestly, yes

But as a goof. Not for Trumpian ego reasons.

[NJCher]

9. Look at the feet

Eom

[Walleye]

11. Look at those DEI Secret Service agents willing to take a bullet for this asshole.

And who is the handsome guy with his fist up? They just can’t be accurate. They always have to lie.

[Martin Eden]

12. The most traumatic event was when his mommy wasn't there to give him his binky

When it fell out of his mouth onto the floor from his high chair.

[Javaman]

13. I guess they ran out of bronze. seems he lost a few dozen pounds. nt

[GulfofMexico]

14. You would if it were a staged promotional event . . . which it was.

That thing in PA was choreographed like an off-Broadway play. Someone was killed? Sure, but that collateral damage doesn't matter to the one-and-only. The man is a lunatic, a megalomaniac of gargantuan proportions. And a little over half the country . . . allegedly . . . sent him back to the White House.

The great orange one isn't just an embarrassment to the United States, he's an embarrassment to decency and humanity everywhere. His psychosis extends to infinity and beyond, and yet we still have millions upon millions of Americans who stand by him in the most incredible political cult since the Nazis.

[Emile]

16. Why does his hands look bigger in the statue

than in real life?

[Oneironaut]

19. He's a psychotic narcissist who thinks he dodged the bullet or some shit like that.

99.9% of people would not.

[Torchlight]

20. He'll cling to the story as will many of the flock

and will not allow the official story to be bent, let alone broken. Now that the story has been crafted into a lead-alloy block on his desk, it's immutable. So sayeth the degenerate idiot, so repeateth the flock.

[maveric]

21. Looks like action figures.
