The statue — which rises 15 feet atop a 7-foot base — was commissioned and bankrolled by a collective of crypto investors seeking to boost visibility for their memecoin, $PATRIOT, according to The Daily Beast.
Sculptor Alan Cottrill told The Times in February that he agreed to create the bronze figure for $300,000 but complained that the investors were slow in paying. In November he proposed coating it in gold leaf.
His suggestion went down like an offering of water “to a person dying of thirst,” he said. “Immediately everybody jumped on board.”
I'm not religious, but sometimes I wish Christianity was real because it would be so funny for these "Christians" to be judged by their god.
the pastor is on the Epstein files , I presume ?
replies:
Why would you think a pastor would give pause? If you can get someone to believe in a magic space daddy, the shift to a magic land-based daddy should be trivial.

It looks nothing like the sleepy, wrinkly, plastered and fat Donny of reality.

It's funny how federal courts are letting Texas enforce displays of the ten commandments in every school classroom while dear leader violates so many of them
Any "pastor" willing to do this isn't a child of Christ.
They are a fraud. By the Bible's own words, Jesus will turn them away at the gates of heaven.
I sure hope no one defiles that shitty statue. Or rip it down. That would be hilarious, whoops, I mean terrible!
Trump, seen here jerking off an NBA star...

kripke from the boyz responded with the homelander golden statue post in response to this.
On top of all of the obvious stupidity with the statue, it is a terrible rendition. Not fat enough. No comb over. The face is not orange. The diaper is missing.

That thing is not gonna last. It's gonna get vandalised within 24 hours.

Burns wrote on social media before emphasizing that the gilded effigy was not a false idol.
“Let me be clear: this is not a golden calf,” he said.
No, not a calf. A different bovine comes to mind.
And this pastor really doesn’t know his bible. Either that, or he knows it but didn’t enter the sheep fold by the gate.

Psalms 115:4-8
- But their idols are silver and gold, made by human hands.
- They have mouths, but cannot speak, eyes, but cannot see.
- They have ears, but cannot hear, noses, but cannot smell.
- They have hands, but cannot feel, feet, but cannot walk, nor can they utter a sound with their throats.
- Those who make them will be like them, and so will all who trust in them.

You would think a Pastor would have a serious problem with that. Only in Trumps America.
Evangelical pastors are bullshit. They have no doctrine, no structure, no guidance, they make up whatever the fuck they want as long as it brings in money.
Evangelicals are the black-and-orange-wrapped-taffy-candy in the halloween candy dish. They wave a book and say “Jesus” and dumb people follow them.
Several statues depicting Trump have recently appeared in front of the Capitol building. One, titled “Best Friends Forever,” portrays the billionaire president alongside the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Another, called “King of the World,” shows the pair posing like Jack and Rose at the prow of the Titanic.
I liked those better

Nonsense. American religion has been this fucked up for decades. Every time I hear about some horrible act of depravity, I get less surprised when I find out it was perpetrated by a pastor, not more.
Thou shalt have no other Gods before me. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven images
Ooohhh so that’s where they put the T1 Trump phones
Classy

Respect that the artist kept the tiny hands and unattractive silhouette at least.
What a shitty, weeble-wobble looking statue with the sunken chest and the slobby gut hanging over the beltline.
