That statue looks like a cross between Trump and Alfred E Neuman. A total doofus. Yet it was planned by someone who seems to approve of Trump. T he statue was on its way to the conference's exhibit hall, where it found a home in a booth for a conservative nonprofit called Look Ahead America.
Tommy Zegan, a California-based artist, created the Trump statue in response to the multiple pieces of art mocking Trump. "Two years ago, when I saw all those statues of naked Trump and Trump on a toilet, I said, 'You know what? I can do better,' " Zegan told CNN Friday as attendees gathered around the statue to snap photos with it.
Zegan said the piece on display at CPAC is actually the fiberglass mold of the real, stainless steel sculpture currently stored in a warehouse in Tampa Zegan says every aspect of the statue -- which puts Trump in a suit jacket, American-flag-themed shorts and flip-flop sandals -- is intended to be symbolic.
"The coat and tie is the fact that he's a professional, he's a businessman," Zegan said. "The red tie symbolizes he's a Republican. The red white and blue is that he's a patriot. The fact that he's wearing thongs and shorts is that he's at the age where he should be retired. He should be at the beach right now."
But when asked if he would like for Trump to ease into retirement or run for President again in 2024, Zegan was emphatic.
"I would be, yes, ecstatic," he said.

Wow. As a patient, I'm not sure I'd want this woman on my surgical team. What happens when she decides she doesn't like me? Why do wealthy people in America have such hatred and venom against people who are little to no threat to them? That kind of anger seems to indicate fear --- why are wealthy Americans so very afraid Wealthy people don't have hatred and venom against immigrants. They are a means to even more wealth. Definitely not afraid, that's just silly.

is it just me, or does that entire display piss anyone else off? His adult diaper is flag desecration. Yet the artist did that to show his "patriotism". Which might be apt, given being a overly enthusiastic flag waver seems to be a way to tell one's fake patriots from one's who actually care about the US and its ideals.

Modern equivalent to the Golden Calf. I call being "Meshach"!

That was a pretty good read. I believe the Bible is a series of things written vaguely enough that someone could (and many do) twist and cherry pick words to say whatever they need it to say. But, I have really enjoyed the anti-Christ/Trump comparisons. Because I don't believe in God or christ, I don't believe in the anti-christ. Manipulative, greedy, arrogant narcissists have been around since the beginning of the human race. Identifying their patterns is the easy part of the prophecy. The specifics identified in that piece are the ones that seem to have a stretch - rising from the sea, the seven hills, seven heads, mark of the beast, king of the south, appearing fatally wounded but surviving, even the rule of 3.5 years. There seems to be a lot of explanation around those and why if you conviently think about things in a non-literal way, or ignore certain things, you can kinda see how it fills the requirement. I loved reading it.
