The big, dumb, weird election of 2016 will be remembered for many things years from now – well, that is if President Trump doesn’t get pissed at a tweet and nuke us before then – but, the biggest memory might be of an incredibly sexy, nude statue of Donald Trump that popped up in Los Feliz this week.

The statue, called “The Emperor Has No Balls”, was also installed in San Francisco, Cleveland, Seattle, and New York, notes 10 News – sorry, Palm Springs doesn’t have one Guess we will have to settle for Marilyn instead.

The statues were created by the Las-Vegas based artist who goes by the name “Ginger.” He told The Washington Post that he worked on the statues for about 25 hours a week since April and that he googled terms such as “saggy old man butt” during the creative process.

“Like it or not, Trump is a larger-than-life figure in world culture at the moment,” an anonymous spokesman told the Post. “Looking back in history, that’s how those figures were memorialized and idolized in their time — with statues.”
Update: it’s gone.
