43-foot-tall n@k£d Donald Trump puppet debuts in Las Vegas (photos)Io

A new art installation depicting Donald Trump as a n@k£d, 43-foot-tall puppet has gone up in Las Vegas. 

Made of foam over rebar and weighing approximately 6,000 pounds, the gigantic n@ked Trump will travel the United States as part of the “Crooked and Obscene Tour”. 

According to the tour’s organizers, portraying Trump in the nude “is intentional, serving as a bold statement on transparency, vulnerability, and the public personas of political figures.” 

They also aim to spark conversation about “transparency—or lack thereof—in politics, challenging viewers to think critically about political influence,” according to press materials. 

Those who can’t make it to Las Vegas will have opportunity to see it on tour stops at other locations across the United States. 

This isn’t the first time a nude statute of Trump has appeared in public, though the current one dwarfs the previous one. 

In 2016 Joshua “Ginger” Monroe was hired at the art collective INDECLINE to create five life-size naked statues of the former president as part of a project called “The Emperor Has No Balls.” 

The statues were put up without permits at locations in Seattle, New York City, Cleveland, Los Angeles and San Francisco; naturally they were soon removed by police. See photos of the latest Trump puppet below.
