Naked Donald Trump Statue Shows Him In A Swing State

The marionette-like installation, "Crooked and Obscene," outraged the Nevada Republican Party.

This Trump towers over them all.

A 43-foot-tall naked Donald Trump statue propped up by a crane appeared outside of Las Vegas over the weekend, drawing the ire of the Nevada Republican Party .

The organization called the marionette-like foam effigy deplorable.

While families drive through Las Vegas, they are forced to view this offensive marionette, designed intentionally for shock value rather than meaningful dialogue, the party said in a statement .

The work has reportedly moved from its staging off Interstate 15 north of Vegas to other planned locations. Organizers behind Crooked and Obscene, the name of the work, plan to showcase the installation in every swing state, according to local reports .

Depicting Trump in the nude is intentional, serving as a bold statement on transparency, vulnerability, and the public personas of political figures, unnamed organizers said in press materials, per The Wrap . The piece is also about transparency or lack thereof in politics, challenging viewers to think critically about political influence, they said.

In May, a pro-Trump artist released pink penis balloons with the faces of Trumps perceived enemies during his hush money trial to humiliate these dicks.

But the Gulliver-like artistic rendering of Trumps genitals which have been described in detail by Stormy Daniels, the porn star the former president was convicted of paying off to keep silent about their alleged affair appeared to send a different message.
