American-hatin' Freedom-hatin' HATERS with TDS are hatin' on Trump's magnificent fake gold golf course statue



https://www.rawstory.com/trump-gold-statue-disgust/

"What's wrong with people," wrote journalist James Surowiecki on X, reacting to video of the statue and a photo of a pastor dedicating it in Trump's honor.

Even Saddam didn't do this s---," noted writer and podcast host Jim Stewartson, referring to Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein. "He is so far gone."

"I guess they couldn't make it a calf," joked journalist Jonah Goldberg. "Still..."

"This is hilarious," activist and writer Wilfred Reilly said. "Big bro built a golden statue of himself, and made a pet preacher bless it."

Trump, 79, Fooled Into Deranged Brag About His ‘GOLD’ Statue

https://www.thedailybeast.com/trump-79-fooled-into-deranged-brag-about-his-gold-statue/

Trump has bragged about his “real deal” 22-foot “golden” statue that is, in fact, made primarily of bronze.


“The Real Deal - GOLD - At Doral in Miami. Put there by great American Patriots!!!” the 79-year-old president posted in a bizarre brag on Truth Social Thursday morning.

.... or is it something found on the Internet,... then posted here. Whatever the case,.. it is spot on top dead center missile launching right into this clowns fat lap. The explosive impact delightfully tears this shit gibbon to shreds each and every time he is targeted by Goonch. Job very well done,.. very entertaining, and the blessing of political satire should rightfully be bestowed upon the tyrants and dictators among us.

... alone and allow him to bask in the glory, soak in the warmth, bathe in the radiance, and revel in the splendor of his own triumphant golden likeness.

Might I suggest people leave bread crumbs and shelled peanuts on the pedestal of this Grand Golden Statue. Maybe that will welcome the pigeons to come have a snack and then induce them to shit all over this statue with layer upon layer of runny bird shit dripping down its sides and puddling at its feet. The munchies might also attract rats to this location where The G-d/KING mounted his golden likeness for the world to praise.

... have never comprehended or ever read....

"You shall not make yourself a carved or craven image any likeness or anything that is of heaven above, or that in the earth beneath, or what is in the water under the earth"..... for these are all of G-d's creations not to be trifled with or any false images worshiped by any man.....

Could this message be made any more clearly to these idiots ?

Not at the statue but at the Republicans. They are a laughing stock. Following him around sucking at his teats like good little piglets.

I thought the idea was to punish
the Democrats, but right now it looks more like self flagellation.

The bible thumpers have given up on the one true God and decided to kneel to the rapist instead. The financial conservatives have exercised anything but fiscal responsibility. The social conservatives have made exceptions for the debauchery of this whole Administration. And yet, they're still angry with Democrats, liberals, women, minorities and the needy.

When you leave people with nothing left to lose, you have nothing left to lose including fear of fighting back. Think about it.

Hitler, Sadam, Mussolini, Gaddafi, Paul Castellano all dead due to demanding and expecting too much. That last name is especially poignant. He was a greedy pig at the trough that was clipped by somebody(s) that had enough.

Don't misunderstand what I'm saying. This is not a threat just an observation of human behavior when left feeling desperate

.... "fear of fighting back".

++++++++++


JFK said,..

“Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable."

Boxing people in with no way to vent their frustrations or express their concerns is a very inadvisable course of action to take..... Civility will inevitably and invariably explode into insurgent actions..... which is best to avoid unless one craves or hopes to incite a people into violence....

Ohio-based sculptor Alan Cottrill had nothing good to say of the crypto bros behind the funding of gold-leafed statue of Donald Trump called “Don Colossus.”

“I usually deal with people that have everything organized. From the start, this was chaos,” Cottrill told the Miami New Times. “I have 400 life-size or larger statues around the country. The patron sets a date when they want it installed, and I have it installed on that date. And almost never, anytime whatsoever, does anyone miss a payment, because I always do what I say I’ll do, and the patron always does what they say they’re going to.”

But the Times reports that was not the case while working with the wealthy Trump backers behind the 22-foot statue of the president, what with demands to remove Trump’s “turkey neck” and make the statue skinnier than Trump actually is—after already slimming it down once.

-- snip

Cottrill said he eventually had to hold the statue ransom to get his money.

So, no work for the upcoming Trump Presidential Tower in Miami, for Cottrill, he said.
(Price paid to Cottrill was a half million dollars, the story mentions.)

reality this is what Trump is as of April 2026



the right side of his mouth has a post stroke droop, Botox injection marks above his lips on the
left side, with auto body filler …. bondo …. on his right side to hide the Botox injection tracks, a
neck-wattle, old, make up, phony hair, and just bat shit crazy.

Putin installed him to tear down America from the inside and it is working too.

And no scar from his bullet wound on his right ear.

Kim Jong Trump.
