A self-described anarchist group called INDECLINE have made some, erm – rather disturbing pieces of political art, and placed them in a handful of parks spread all over the US.
And when we say ‘political art’, we’re talking about grotesque, life-size, butt-fkn-nekkid statues of proud bigot and presidential candidate Donald Trump.
The statues are reminiscent of Australian-born artist Ilma Gore‘s infamous nude painting, in which Trump sports a very, very, very small micro-penis. This one:
Americans are losing their minds over the statues, and obviously taking selfies by the absolute thousands. There’s smiles, there’s laughter, there’s nauseated expressions, and there’s even a few rap squats.
And there’s very public and open conversations about the presidential candidate’s dick size. Which is weird.
The Guardian quoted one passer-by:
“Athelea Sookia got her friend to snap a photo as she tugged on Trump’s stubby penis with a smile.He has no balls, he has no balls!” Sookia said. “He’s no good as a president. He hate[s] the Mexicans. Get him out, get him out.””
We’re going to post some uncensored photos of the statues now, dear reader. And from the bottom of our hearts: we are so sorry.
Love the new @realDonaldTrump statue in Manhattan. Making art great again! #Trump pic.twitter.com/fVhMTyrzvc

In an interview with the Washington Post, INDECLINE said that their reasoning was to humiliate Trump, while acknowledging his authoritarian tendencies; an obvious parody of how dictators will erect solemn statues of themselves.
The group have even posted a very cool ‘making of’ video to Youtube:
Many of the statues have already been removed – the first being the statue in New York City‘s Union Square.
However, the NYC Parks Department couldn’t help but throw some incredible and fiendish sass about the removal of the statue in a statement to Gothamist:
