Statue looks like shit, the artist should be proud of their ability to accurately depict the subject if nothing else.

In fairness, the model isn't a looker either.

All dictators love flattering artwork showing them in glorious poses because of their gigantic egos. The gaudier the artwork, the more you know you live in a dictatorship.

A statue of failure. Suits him. A reminder that he's not the only failure out there, there was also a shooter who failed.

I'm assuming this piece was commissioned by Trump on his own dime, yes? Otherwise I'll call DOGE to government-efficiency Trump's ass.
