A 13 meter high nude statue of Trump has been erected

Las Vegas is world famous for its casinos, luxury hotels and nightlife, among other things.

From now on, you can also see a nude statue of former US President Donald Trump in the city.

The 13 meter high statue is part of the project “Crooked and Shameless” and will tour around the country. This is to inspire discussions about “transparency – or lack thereof – in politics, and challenge the audience to think critically about political influence”, according to a press release, The Wrap reports.

The statue, which weighs three tonnes, has its arms attached to strings – so they can be moved around like a marionette.

The project is described as “a bold statement about transparency, vulnerability and the public personas of political figures,” say the creators, who have yet to come forward.

Show up naked in five cities

It’s not the first time Trump has appeared as a statue.

In 2016, nude statues of Trump were found in New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Cleveland and Seattle.

That project was called “The Emperor Has No Bullets” and was created by the group Indecline, which describes itself as an “activist art collective”

The statue in Las Vegas was installed just over a month before the disputed presidential election.
