Trump Defends Giant Gold Statue of Himself Amid Much Debate

"With time, it will become a landmark," Trump insisted, amid mounting criticism over the installation.

President Donald Trump has defended a 22-foot golden statue of himself that has spurned mixed reactions since its formal unveiling last week.

“This is a statue, now standing at Doral, that was commissioned by a large group of political supporters who just wanted a statue of yours truly,” Trump said Friday as he shared a picture of the installation that stands at Trump National Doral Miami golf course.

Dubbed Don Colossus and covered in gold leaf, the statue was commissioned by the $PATRIOT cryptocurrency group and unveiled during a dedication ceremony led by Pastor Mark Burns, a longtime spiritual adviser to Trump who was involved in the project.

Trump:
“What amazes me is how quickly some people have compared this beautiful statue, created, and made possible by more than 6,000 patriots, to a golden calf or idol worship,” he said. “Let me be very clear. We worship the Lord Jesus Christ and him alone.”

"In time it will become a landmark"

Multiple reports.

WE are doomed.

He's now down to, give or take, 35 to 37% approval, and while that's far too many idiots who don't know they're being conned, their day is waning.

Lots of Presidents have statues. I kinda like Jimmy Carter's:

You know what; when you're right you're right.

Except not a lot of Presidents have endorsed pictures of themselves portraying Jesus Christ.

Or have gold statues of themselves where they fucking live.

Or have said statues being dedicated to them by their spiritual advisor.

Or have Golden statues dedicated to them at political conventions.

Part apart from those ever so minor details thebeave, you are spot on buddy. Everyone who has criticised this statue must feel so embarrassed, myself included. I feel like such a cunt questioning the wisdom of Dear Leader.

Actually, I've gotta ask - has there ever been a statue of a US President being build while they were still in office? All the examples @thebeave linked to looked like legacy things.

Jim Acosta tracked down the sculptor, and as Acosta said, it's quite the story.

 

[Tigers!]

If you charged people $1 to piss on Trump's statue you could clear your debt quite quickly.

If you look at the dates on the link, quite a few actually (especially if you include busts). In recent years anyway, there's Presidents Johnson, Carter, Bush I, Obama and Biden.

Minor nitpick: The statue is not located where Trump "fucking lives" (Mar-a-Lago or the White House). Its at his golf course in Miami:

Trump has a number of parody statues as well. Like this one that was at the National Mall. Kinda funny, but it was taken down:

Fact Check: Statue of Trump holding Epstein in 'Titanic' pose appeared on National Mall

In March 2026, photographs and footage circulated online purportedly showing a new statue of U.S. President Trump with sex offender and disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein in Washington, D.C. The statue was positioned to mimic the famous pose from the 1997 film "Titanic," in which the lead characters, Jack and Rose, stand at the bow of the ship while Rose's arms are outstretched.

Guess you're right then. I do feel so bad that Trump had parody statues.

Heil Trump! It's not blasphemy anymore!

 

[Elixir]

But still - has has there ever been a statue of a US President being build while they were still in office?

I do not recall any actual metal statues, but there have been lots of effigies snd voodoo dolls!

 

[Spacetime Inhabitant]

When Trump departs the White House permanently, the statue will either, be melted down or perhaps turned into a caricature statue for people to laugh at.

On his golf course, dedicated to himself by himself. Well that’s okay then.

I mean, even the creator of the statue calls it "the golden calf".

Let's look at it as what it is: an idol.

Not even of the sort that has ever been celebrated by anyone other than cultists.

Our worldwide culture has severe negative views of people who erect and worship this kind of idol.

I have a hard time thinking of "idolatrous behavior" without associating it specifically with gold statuary. We know for a fact that the guy has delusions of grandeur and aspirations to being a figure of worship. It is a golden statue intended as an image of worship.

I'll be damned if this or an even more garish and oversized version of it doesn't wind up in a place modeled as a temple.

Every intuition and principle we have developed over centuries about aversions to idol worship was built to create an awareness of exactly this behavior and outcome, so as to prevent it or align response against it.

Don't give him ideas.

This looked so much like some AI nonsense that I googled it. It's an indoor installation in a shopping mall in Bangkok.

Sidebar: anyone know if Trump has learned to pronounce Thailand yet? He pronounced it "Thighland" on camera once, which is right up there with his pronunciation of Yosemite ("Yo, Semite!!", which is actually how he starts phone calls to Netanyahu.) What a dumbfuck. Trump voters, you elected a man who misspelled hamburger, can't pronounce Yosemite, and thinks Washington's army took over the airports. Thanks a lot, dipshits.
