Oh please. People complaining about this need to get a life. No there wouldn't be riots because someone put up an Obama statue. He's dealt with plenty of nasty things. Hillary does too.

Maybe we should add an amendment to the constitution saying that mockery of Presidential candidates is forbidden and will lead to jail time? Is that what you people want?

Is that the same thing, though? I'm pretty sure putting any human's face on a monkey would cause a stir...because, we're not monkeys, we're humans. I don't follow your point.

Apples to Oranges. The trump caricature statue is humorous and apt, especially considering his divisive, over the top rhetoric. A monkey statue of President Obama, who doesn't insult wide swaths of our population, doesn't blunder his way on a daily basis, conducts himself in a stately and proper manner for his position, and in no way acts or behaves like a monkey - your idea has obvious racial overtones. Now, your monkey statue idea for the majority party of our Congress - that's a different story.

Put some actual thought into it and then try again.

Lyin' Ted, Crooked Hillary, and Little Marco all agree it's not nice to mock people.

Why should Trump be exempt from karmic justice?

People in the bay area take politics way too seriously.


Your vote does not matter. Your area is voting solid Democrat all the way down the line. You might as well stay home. Elites anointed Billary as president like two years ago. Get a clue, even the Koch brothers support her. Why waste your time freaking out about Trump. Dude never had a chance to begin with and is just building his name brand for business.

Ah what do I know, I just have a degree on the subject and work for the government. LOL

Saying mean things VS making a statue of you with a small penis and placing it in major cities. Two different things.

Republicans get ridiculed enough as it is. Although Trump isn't even a Republican, so there's that.

Imagine if right wingers made nude statues of Hillary that show she has a massive gaping "whatever" the media and liberals would be rioting in the streets calling right wingers every negative word in the dictionary.
