Statues of a naked Donald Trump were erected in a handful of cities Thursday, including one in New York City that was removed after two hours with an amusing statement from New York City Parks. Much like artist Illma Gore’s painting, it’s not very generous towards Trump and the size of his manhood.
Cozy up to one of these veiny statues you’ll find in New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Cleveland, and it’s hard not to notice this representation of Trump has no visible testicles.
According to a story titled “Meet Joshua Monroe, the Man Who Makes Nude Trump Statues”, by Amelia Warshaw on The Daily Beast website, Joshua Monroe, the artist who created a sensational series of nude Donald Trump statues, would consider giving Hillary Clinton the same treatment.
Trump’s campaign declined to comment on the statues.
While police in NY city were quick to remove the statue from Union Square, copies in the west coast cities of San Francisco, Los Angeles and Seattle were still there nine hours later, The Daily Beast reported.
“NYC Parks stands firmly against any unpermitted erection in city parks, no matter how small”, the department said in a statement.
The whereabouts of the Cleveland Naked Trump are still unknown.
INDECLINE said statues on the West Coast were still in place.

The group’s other projects have included putting the names of African-Americans killed by police over the inlaid stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and painting the words “This Land Was Our Land” across an unused airstrip in the Mojave Desert.
