I usually don't follow the UTube stuff, or use TIK TOK or whatever it is called, but since you posted, I figured it was appropriate to the Thread. It was appropriate and amusing and disturbing, all at the same time. Scary. Thank you.
Thanks for the confidence and the blind leap of faith. I concur with your assessment, completely. Made me shudder.
Y'know . . . if it had been Biden at the podium that day, he simply wouldn't have recalled when got his ear pierced.
Life-sized sculpture of 'fighting' Trump made from nails unveiled at assassination attempt site The life-size statue is made from 4,000 twisted and bent metal nails and portrays Trump defiantly raising his right fist in the air August 11, 2024 BUTLER, Penn. – BUTLER, Pa. - Local artist Bill Secunda not only describes Donald Trump as "tough as nails" after the former president shook off an assassination attempt here, he created a life-size sculpture to hammer the idiom home. Secunda was so inspired by Trump's actions, in which he raised his fist defiantly and exhorted rallygoers to "Fight, fight, fight" moments after being grazed by an assassin's bullet, that he built a unique likeness of the former president out of nails. Secunda unveiled the statue at the Butler Farm Show on Saturday, the same venue where the deadly shooting took place on July 13. "I tried to give him the expression of 'Let's fight,' but let's do it nonviolent[ly]. Let’s do it right," Secunda told Fox News Digital at his garage studio. Like many Americans, Secunda was inspired seeing Trump raising his fist in the air as Secret Service agents whisked him to safety seconds after shooter Thomas Matthew Crooks clipped his ear with a rifle shot. His carefully curated installation – made up of around 4,000 twisted and bent metal nails – portrays Trump in a light navy suit with his arm upraised. "I hope [the statue] helps people get a little bit more strength," he continued. "This guy is tough, he's strong. You know, maybe we need to be a little stronger. This is kind of a tough time for our country and I kind of hope it helps. People were upset that it happened here, and I think they're more upset that it happened at all." The 6-foot 3-inch high sculpture is made entirely from traditional flat-headed cut nails which Secunda says are typically driven into concrete. It's a technique Secunda often uses in his artwork. "I build an armature first and then I start welding each nail, a lot of them need heating up and [are] bent into place," Secunda said of his nail-based structures, many of which pepper his expansive garden, including a life-size moose. He’s made plenty of other life-size animals during his 30-year career, including a bear, a bison and a lion, while other installations include a giant tin man made out of wood that features imposingly on his property. "The hair was a lot of fun," Secunda says of Trump’s iconic hairdo in his piece. "I did a lot of research on his ears and a lot of research on his hair. Once I got it formed right, I used a brazing rod and welded it on there to give it the yellow [finish]." He says the Trump structure is his first politically themed creation, although he's also made two giant statues of Jesus Christ on a cross. https://www.foxnews.com/us/striking...-trump-unveiled-at-assassination-attempt-site
And regarding Trump vs. Harris, allow me to point out the difference . . . Trump tells it how it is . . . Harris tells’em what they want to hear.
