A new giant statue of former US President Donald Trump has been unveiled on the outskirts of Las Vegas.
The work, which is 13 meters high, weighs 2.7 tons and is made of foam, depicts Trump naked and is part of an art project called “Twisted and Obscene Tour.”

According to the project’s creators, depicting a naked Trump is “intentional, and serves as a bold statement about transparency — or the lack of it — vulnerability and public personas of political figures.”
According to a spokesperson for the artist, who preferred to remain anonymous, the aim of the work is to encourage the public to think critically about public figures and political influence.
So far, Trump and his team have not commented on the statue. But Republican supporters described the “tribute” as “political violence.”
“As families drive through Las Vegas, they are forced to see this offensive doll, intentionally designed to shock rather than create meaningful dialogue,” the Nevada Republican Party said in a statement, according to The Telegraph.
