"“Everybody is taking pictures of it, my people told me. It's unbelievable,” Trump said. “All day long they're taking pictures. They stand up next to it and have their picture taken. It really came out beautiful.”"
"On Thursday, the scene was hardly bustling. Questions to regular golfers here about the statue drew knowing laughs and some raised eyebrows. Out-of-town visitors said they were amused by it. ... Jorge Garcia used his phone to snap a photo of the statue as he stood nearby. He hadn't walked over to gaze at it; the statue is situated directly across from the golf course's concession stand."
"“It's amazing,” Garcia said, somewhat sarcastically, with a smirk. If he had his own golf course, Garcia continued, “I would do it myself, but bigger. “I'm kidding.”"

A 22-foot golden statue of Donald Trump stands at Trump National Doral Miami and was dedicated on May 6. During the dedication, Trump called Pastor Mark Burns on speaker and said people were taking pictures all day, standing next to the statue for photos, and that it came out beautiful. After the event, crowds appeared limited, and a visit to the site found golfers and visitors occasionally snapping photos. Reactions were described as bemused, with some raised eyebrows and knowing laughs. One visitor took a photo while waiting for an attendant and made a sarcastic remark about making a bigger version. Trump remains the most visibly impressed, posting about the statue afterward.
