Golden Trump Statue isn’t Trump Worship

Or he did specifically because he knew it would trigger liberals. I would suspect that was the whole intent behind the statue itself, a sort of, "Hey, y'all, watch this!" as they laugh at Obama-worshiping liberals unironically condemn a gaudy Trump statue.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

And a statue that is not flattering, with American flag shorts and a fairy wand?
I would guess it was made by people who made that Trump baby balloon blimp thing, but the CPAC attendees seemed to like it for some reason.

Former President Trump has not yet made his appearance at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), but a gold-colored statue in his likeness has already stolen the show.
People have been lining up to get photos next to the statue all day.
The statue was made by Tommy Zegan. It was his second work after another statue of former Green Pay Packers star quarterback Brett Favre. Zegan’s next project will be a statue of Robin Williams as Popeye.
Zegan said that throughout the Trump presidency, he saw so many signs, balloons and statues of the 45th president painting him in a negative light, such as the "Baby Trump" balloon.
"Is this the best the art community can do?" queried Zegan. "So, I said I can do better."
According to Zegan, there is a lot of "symbolism" in the statue. The suit represents that Trump is a businessman, the red tie is symbolic of the Republican party. His red, white and blue shorts show that "he is a patriot." He’s wearing sandals because "he’s of that age where he should be retired and out on the beach somewhere" but he’s not. The magic wand he’s holding harks back to a 2016 comment that former President Barack Obama made to Trump when he said, "What magic wand do you have?" to bring jobs back to the US. Lastly, he’s holding the constitution because "it’s something he believes in."
Zegan said he does not want the statue to represent an "idol" for people to worship. He wants everyone, even liberals, to laugh and pose for photos next to the figure.
This statue is actually the "mold" that was used to make the "real" statue, which is made of stainless steel and weighs 600 pounds. The artist hopes that statue will end up in the Trump Presidential Library. This statue, which weighs 200 pounds, is for sale and Zegan is asking for $100,000. He received an offer of $80,000 but the offer was withdrawn due to the pandemic.

It certainly is the most caricature-ish statue I've ever seen.
The only ones who can possibly think it someone relates to the golden calf the Israelites made are liberals. I think it's just silly.

I think this is what idolatry really looks like:

Of course it should probably be pointed out that the Hebrew word translated as "deceives" in these verses is referring more to actions that are intended to cause harm and not merely to mock someone. For instance, conning someone out of a thousand dollars and then saying, "Don't be so upset. It's just a joke."Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd
