It's not just D.C.: Satirical Trump statues are appearing in cities across the U.S.
Briefly

The appearance of satirical sculptures mocking Donald Trump in cities like Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, and Portland reflects ongoing societal tensions and diverse expressions of political discontent.
In particular, a statue depicting a desk belonging to ex-Speaker Nancy Pelosi, complete with impactful messaging about the January 6 Capitol riot, critiques perceived complacency towards political violence.
Another installation displays a hand gripping a tiki torch, evoking memories of the Charlottesville rally while pointing towards Trump's controversial defense of 'very fine people,' generating discussions on operational racism.
The life-sized Trump statues proclaim a legacy of sexual misconduct, raising uncomfortable conversations around power dynamics, consent, and Trump's long history of allegations of sexual assault.
