Massive Trump Statue Unveiled Before Inauguration Day

An Ohio artist has unveiled a mammoth, $1 million statue of President-elect Donald Trump that will tour the nation ahead of his inauguration on Monday. The statue will ultimately make it way to a future Trump presidential library after the nation’s 45th, and soon-to-be 47th president leaves office.
Titled “The Patriot Statue of Donald J. Trump,” the statue depicts Trump’s iconic reaction to being shot during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, when the incoming president raised his fist in defiance and shouted “fight, fight, fight!” The six-ton sculpture was forged in Zanesville, OH, by master craftsman Alan Cottrill just a week after the shooting.
Cottrill is best known for his statue of Thomas Edison, which has represented Ohio at the U.S. Capitol Building since 2016. The sculptor told the New York Post that the project came with sizable financial risk, as there would have been no refunds if Trump lost the presidential election to Vice President Kamala Harris.
The larger-than-life statue will be unveiled Saturday evening at the Capital One Arena in Washington D.C. before embarking on a tour of the country.

Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Kudos to this sculptor for standing on faith.

@Canuck Conservative
Do not know?
I had the same question. After research and checking out several other websites, I could not come up with a clear answer.
Maybe you can look into it?
Canuck Conservative:
They had heavy security at the game yesterday (Commanders game was nearby and Trump was in town), but I don't see any mention of the statue
However, DJT is having a final rally, started at 3 pm EST, in that same arena ... maybe that's why it's there?
