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

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