So they brought last year’s birthday gift (when he was President) to this year’s CPAC (when he wasn’t). Sounds like a participation trophy to me.

The "artist" is American.

Pretty sure Lady Liberty (the statue) wasn't made in America or by Americans.

The artist is American but his statue was made in Mexico. Why wasn't it made in our country. Do you know the reason because I'd like to know. And the statue of liberty was a gift from France. No comparison.

It wasn't made in America because the American who made the statue lives in Mexico. Would it be better if he lived in France?

A gift from an American who happens to live in Mexico.

Of course it can be compared - both are "gifts". Neither one were asked for/commissioned, but one was made by an American artist, the other wasn't.

The statue of liberty has been here since 1886 and a symbol of freedom. What exactly does this golden statue of Trump stand for.

Are they really trying to make a religious statement with the golden Trump statue because that’s not how I interpreted it. Also, are they displaying it anywhere? Because the only pictures I see of it is of it being rolled through a lobby.

It's at Matt Braynard's Look Ahead America booth.

People are having their picture taken with a gilded statue wearing the U.S. flag as swimming trunks?

What were they thinking?

And actually expect normal people to believe it?
How much evidence, exactly, do you need?

It's in not only the media you clearly dislike, but also Fox and the NY Post:

You're just wrong in trying to blame the Democrats. This is a Trumpist faux pas, all the way.
