"The statue, located underneath a trio of palm trees, depicts the president standing with his right fist raised above his head. The pose resembles the one Trump struck shortly after he was shot at his rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, in 2024."
"In August 2024, a cryptocurrency group commissioned the statue and paid Cottrill a total of $360,000 for the bronze and gold leaf required for it. When the group used a likeness of the statue for its crypto token, however, Cottrill refused to part with it until he was adequately compensated for the copyright infringement."
A gold statue of Donald Trump has been installed at Trump National Doral in Miami, depicting him with a raised fist. The statue was revealed by Golfweek writer Adam Schupak on social media. It was created by sculptor Alan Cottrill and commissioned by a cryptocurrency group for $360,000. The statue's installation coincides with the PGA Tour's Cadillac Championship, marking the first tournament at the venue in over a decade. A legal dispute over copyright infringement was resolved prior to the statue's installation.
