Unsuspecting city-dwellers in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Cleveland, and New York woke up to a sight they won’t soon forget (although many will probably wish they could): Donald Trump naked. A series of life-size nude sculptures depicting the Republican candidate for US president in all his splotchy, spider-veined glory popped up around the country Thursday morning. The California street art group Indecline took credit for the works, titled The Emperor Has No Balls, and released a film showing the making of the pieces. “Unlike the statues, it’s our hope that Donald Trump, our modern day Emperor of Fascism and Bigotry, is never installed in the most powerful political and military position in the world,” the artists said in a statement. The sculpture in New York, placed in Union Square, was removed by a parks department crew around lunchtime today. “NYC Parks stands firmly against any unpermitted erection in city parks, no matter how small,” said a department spokesman who definitely deserves a raise.
