Trump breaks silence after unveiling 22-foot gold statue of himself at his own golf course

A new statue of Donald Trump has been unveiled at the president’s Miami golf club. While many believed MAGA supporters used it to in some way “worship” the president, Pastor Mark Burns, a member of Pastors for Trump, said that was not the case. Now, Donald Trump has also broken his silence about the statue.

The new statue of Donald Trump was revealed on Wednesday at Trump National Doral in Florida. It was Trump raising his fist after surviving an assassination attempt in 2024 at a rally.

Reports suggest that several cryptocurrency investors financed the statue. However, its sculptor, Alan Cottrill, previously claimed they were slow to pay. Moreover, Cotrill said he agreed to make the gold statue for $300,000. until it was fully paid, he kept it stored in a warehouse.

The 22-foot gold statue was unveiled before a dozen guests. The celebration was led by Pastor Mark Burns, a member of Pastors for Trump.

On X, the pastor recalled the “unforgetabble” moment.

“Today at Trump National Doral Miami, we witnessed an unforgettable moment with the dedication of the 22-foot statue honoring President Donald J. Trump. Let me be clear: this is not a golden calf. We worship the Lord Jesus Christ and Him alone. This statue is a celebration of life,” Mark Burns wrote.
