Last month I posted a story about Don Lessem’s giant, robotic, farting Trump statue. It got more shares than almost any story we’ve ever done. (36,000 and counting!)
The sculpture was created in China and shipped by boat to London in time for Trump’s arrival and it’s now in Trafalgar Square. Lessem said,
“My goal is to create this year’s attention-getting and bile-producing sequel to the Trump baby balloon… I think we need a focus to our rage, and as many and large reminders as possible of what a disgusting disgrace this oaf is to humanity.
For his own safety, we thought to put his overlong tie into the toilet itself. He’s tweeting of course, and his mouth moves to utter deathless quotes in his own voice …. The fart noises, however, are not his own — recordings of his flatulence are apparently unavailable.”
Watch.
