Anarchist collective INDECLINE has done their part to humiliate Donald Trump by erecting life-size sculptures of the presidential candidate.
The artist who designed and created the statues, who goes by Ginger, told the Post his background is in designing monsters for horror movies and haunted houses.
The life-sized caricature captures Trump’s famous quiff and perma-tanned skin tone with the billionaire’s hands clasped over a large belly.

Mayor Bill de Blasio was asked about the statue at a press conference Thursday.
Donald Trump appeared in a new light Thursday. “When he’s wearing clothes I don’t like him”.

California-based art collective INDECLINE have since claimed responsibility for the statues.
This wasn’t the group’s first anti-Trump endeavor.
