My goodness gracious and golly gee! I’m hoping this didn’t get covered by us already, as I don’t like to duplicate. This is. Too. Funny. Trump’s latest creation has the internet choking in disbelief. The story is a couple of days old, but that really doesn’t matter like it might for other things. Here’s something nice and quick to close out the night. Thank you for the laughter, Raw Story:
Trump’s giant gold statue of himself at his Doral Golf Club in Miami was met with online disgust by people who couldn’t believe that anyone would want or applaud such a vanity project.
“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.”
“How did our country get captured by this cult?” asked economic writer Noah Smith.
“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.”
There you go. It’s almost worse than the ballroom and the ‘victory’ arch, but not quite. This is most definitely a vanity project. I wonder who paid for it? And did you notice the statue lost weight? Hopefully, you enjoyed the comments that made me spit coffee on my monitor.
See you tomorrow!
Friends, I know everybody begs you for money. I promise you that of all of the outlets bugging you for spare change, we are the smallest and the hardest working. We’re a bunch of old, disabled people, except one writer in his mid-50s. But the rest of us are in our sixties and seventies, and this is a labor of love. All we’re asking for is the ability to continue our quest to tell the truth about Trump and help ensure democracy survives. If you can help, please do. Thank you. Ursula
If you haven’t seen it.

That is both disturbing and hilarious!!!
It’s puzzling. How can a heap of shite get stacked that high without it falling over into a steaming pile? Roll it in fools gold glitter and then buff it, perhaps.
Likely because it was poured into a mold. Then they let it dry solidly and *then* rolled it in fool’s gold glitter. Wait. They would have to put the glitter in the mold because they wouldn’t be able to make it stick when it was dry.
