Hilarious! Naked Donald Trump statues spotted around US. [PHOTOS]


What a sight. Members of the anarchist collective IN DECLINE commissioned and placed five naked statues of Donald Trump across the United States in protest of the Republican presidential nominee’s political views.

The statues, which have found homes in Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Cleveland and New York City, are part of a project called “The Emperor Has No Balls” — a not-so-subtle nod to Hans Christian Andersen’s storybook tale, The Emperor’s New Clothes, about an overconfident leader with no wardrobe.


While the mogul’s likenesses are stripped of their clothing, the figures are also missing an integral part of the male anatomy. A spokesman for INDECLINE opened up to The Washington Post about the inspiration behind the Trump sculptures on Thursday, August 18.

“Like it or not, Trump is a larger-than-life figure in world culture at the moment,” the spokesman told the newspaper. “Looking back in history, that’s how those figures were memorialized and idolized in their time — with statues.”


A Las Vegas–based artist named Ginger crafted the statues of Trump. The sculptor, who specializes in life-size replicas of monsters, told the Post about his creative process when making the mold for the statues of the ex–Celebrity Apprentice host, 70.

“When the guys approached me, it was all because of my monster-making abilities,” he said, referring to INDECLINE’s request, which was sent to him back in April. “Trump is just yet another monster, so it was absolutely in my wheelhouse to be able to create these monstrosities.”

Asked about the hardest part of re-creating Trump’s characteristic look, Ginger revealed that the former reality star’s mouth was difficult to mimic. “He has a very distinct little mouth — the way his chin meets the jowl, it had to look right,” he said, adding that the politician often has a “constipated look.”
