From the New York Post: An Ohio artist has forged a larger-than-life 15-foot-tall, $1 million bronze statue of President Trump that will tour the country before eventually ending up at a future Trump presidential library.
Sculptor Alan Cottrill’s “Don Colossus” immortalizes the iconic moment Trump defiantly pumped his fist into the air after narrowly escaping an assassination attempt during a rally in Butler, PA on July 13.
The six-ton statute was forged in Zanesville, OH, by the master bronzesmith and was commissioned just a week after the shooting.
The massive statue was commission by several dozen wealthy crypto investors as a tribute to Trump.
It will be unveiled Saturday evening at the Capital One Arena in Washington D.C., and will then be taken around the country on a tour, so the American people can see it in person.
