Statues of a naked Donald Trump appeared in five cities nationwide on Thursday morning.
The group INCLINE took credit for the statues and shared a video of the making of them as part of the project called “The Emperor has no balls,” according to the Hollywood Reporter. The colorful statue depicts the Republican presidential nominee with big hair, small hands, lots of veins, and missing part of his lower anatomy.

“Like it or not, Trump is a larger-than-life figure in world culture at the moment,” a spokesman for the group said, according to another report. “Looking back in history, that’s how those figures were memorialized and idolized in their time — with statues.”
The artist behind the statues, that goes by Ginger, said he is known for his work creating larger-than-life monsters.
“When the guys approached me, it was all because of my monster-making abilities,” Ginger said. “Trump is just yet another monster, so it was absolutely in my wheelhouse to be able to create these monstrosities.”
