Alert – Giant naked Donald Trump statue erected on side of Las Vegas freeway shocks the senses: ‘Obscene’

In this case, let’s hope what happens in Vegas really does stay in Vegas.

A giant, satirical statue depicting a nude Donald Trump has sprouted up seemingly overnight just north of Las Vegas.

The naked edifice portrays the former president fully in the buff, complete with genitals, and has reportedly been titled ‘Crooked and Obscene’ by its makers.

It stands 43-feet-tall and weighs around 6,000 pounds, those responsible said – and can be found gloating over a stretch of I-15 that connects Nevada to Utah.

First found in a fenced-in lot at the side of the road on Saturday, the installation has spawned a combination of disgust and confusion.

Still standing Monday, it was built ahead of a Kamala Harris rally – and is now set to be toured across the US.

A spokesperson for the installation, who asked to remain anonymous, confirmed its name in an interview with News 3 Las Vegas, as other slammed it as distinctly ‘un-American’.

‘It is 43 feet tall, 10 feet wide… weighs 6,000 pounds, and is made of foam over rebar.’

When asked about the purpose for its construction, the spokesperson simply said, ‘to ignite conversations.’

The rep, again, would not reveal their identity, as the statue continues to turn heads and go viral.

Outlets like TMZ have picked up the story, as it continues to gain traction. 

The website said it was also able to speak insiders close to the project – who told them its name stems not only from the statue’s indecency, but that of the man himself.

The decision to portray Trump in the nude, press materials provided to The Wrap added, ‘[was] intentional – serving as a bold statement on transparency, vulnerability, and the public personas of political figures’.

Within two days, the hulking marionette – it is suspended by cables from a tower crane – has become not only the talk of the internet but the town, as people in-person continue to pull over to get a closer look.

Within two days, the hulking marionette has become not only the talk of the internet but the town, as people in-person continue to pull over to get a closer look. ‘When I was pulling out, I looked over and I saw something hanging,’ said one resident in a roadside interview

‘Of course it’s a statement, but there’s no text saying something about Trump,’ said one man when asked about the sculpture’s greater connotations

 ‘When I was pulling out, I looked over and I saw something hanging,’ said one unnamed resident in a roadside interview with News 3 next to the statue. 

 ‘It looked like Donald Trump,’ he laughed. ‘So I had to get closer to see what it was. And it is, Donald Trump.

‘If you know the Trump hair, you can tell that’s what they were trying to do,’ he continued, visibly tickled by the abnormal attraction.

‘So good job to whoever did it.’

‘Is it a political statement?’ he went on to ask aloud, before conceding ‘I don’t know what it is. 

‘But, hey, it’s Vegas – anything can happen,’ he added, as others reacted to the feature as well.  

‘Of course it’s a statement, but there’s no text saying something about Trump,’ said one man when asked about the sculpture’s wider connotations.

‘Of course, it’s a bit weird, maybe, that he’s nude, but it’s also interesting to see – it’s a way of portraying him, I guess. I think it’s an interesting piece of art’

On the other end of the spectrum were people criticizing the display online, with posts painting it as ‘disgusting’ as its artist remained unknown

 ‘Of course, it’s a bit weird, maybe, that he’s nude, but it’s also interesting to see – it’s a way of portraying him, I guess.

‘I think it’s an interesting piece of art.’

On the other end of the spectrum were people criticizing the display online, with posts painting it as ‘disgusting’ as its artist remained unknown.

One X user claimed the looming marionette – yes, it moves – was akin to ‘political violence’, with others echoing those claims.

The insiders who spoke to TMZ, meanwhile, suggested there are plans to keep the statue up until early November – to coincide with the upcoming election. 

Reps for the creators further said that it will soon travel the United States as part of a greater ‘Crooked and Obscene Tour’, though dates have yet to be announced.

The work, surprisingly, isn’t the first to show the Republican in his Birthday suit, with five popping up in 2016 alone.

Those were christened ‘The Emperor Has No Balls’ by its creator, the activist art group InDecline.

The work, surprisingly, isn’t the first to show the Republican in his Birthday suit, with five popping up in 2016 alone. Those were christened ‘The Emperor Has No Balls’ by its creator, Joshua ‘Ginger’ Monroe. They were pulled for lacking permits

They were quickly pulled due to artist Joshua ‘Ginger’ Monroe never filing for a permit. It remains unknown if a permit was put in place for this particular work.

DailyMail.com has reached out to local police for more information.

DailyMail.com has also reached out to InDecline – who enlisted Monroe to create the 2016 statues – in regard to the recent work, which remained standing Monday morning.
