Quoting remarks Trump made to Access Hollywood in 2005, which leaked ahead of the 2016 election, its plaque read: "I just start kissing them. It's like a magnet. Just kiss. I don't even wait. And when you're a star they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab them by the p****. You can do anything."
A second statue of Trump, featuring an identical plaque, appeared in Philadelphia's Maja Park on Wednesday, also close to a preexisting bronze sculpture of a naked woman. According to Philly Voice, it was swiftly removed by local authorities.
Below excerpted from another article in Newsweek.
Last week, two mysterious statues appeared in Washington D.C., one featuring a giant pile of feces on Nancy Pelosi's desk with the caption: "This memorial honors the brave men and women who broke into the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021, to loot, urinate and defecate throughout those hallowed halls in order to overturn an election."
The second statue was a tiki torch titled "The Donald J Trump Enduring Flame," an apparent reference to the 2017 Charlottesville "Unite the Right" march, which featured neo-Nazis. Trump later sparked controversy for saying there were "very fine people on both sides," though he also said there were "very bad people" at the far-right rally.
