Massive Naked Trump Puppet Unveiled in Las Vegas as Part of Art Tour
A new art installation featuring a 43-foot-tall naked puppet of Donald Trump has been unveiled in Las Vegas.
Constructed from foam over rebar and weighing around 6,000 pounds, the enormous figure will travel across the United States as part of the "Crooked and Obscene Tour."
According to the organizers, depicting Trump in the nude is a deliberate choice meant to make a bold statement about transparency, vulnerability, and the public personas of political leaders.
The tour aims to provoke discussions about the "transparency—or lack thereof—in politics," encouraging audiences to critically examine political influence, as outlined in their promotional materials.
For those unable to visit Las Vegas, the puppet will make appearances at various locations throughout the United States during the tour.
This is not the first instance of a nude statue of Trump appearing in public; however, this current installation significantly overshadows previous efforts.
In 2016, artist Joshua “Ginger” Monroe created five life-sized naked statues of the former president for the art collective INDECLINE as part of a project titled "The Emperor Has No Balls." These statues were installed without permits in cities like Seattle, New York City, Cleveland, Los Angeles, and San Francisco, but were quickly removed by authorities.
