I interrupt my Olympics-only commentary to chime in on this irresistible news.
The artist group INDECLINE placed statutes of Donald J. Trump on public display all over the country yesterday; naturally, because Trump personifies Western civilization in decline.
But the NYC Parks Department found the nude, anatomically correct statue too obscene for public view. It features everything from his yellow hair to orange face, potbelly to knock-knee, and all other unsightly traits laid bare between.
Here, courtesy of CNN, is how spokesman Sam Biederman explained the department’s decision to remove it after only hours on display:
NYC Parks stands firmly against any unpermitted erection in city parks, no matter how small.
Ouch!
No doubt the laughably thin-skinned Trump will feel compelled to show the world that his private parts are much bigger than the statue depicts. Never mind that those parts appear entirely consistent with the nubby little hands he keeps trying to convince people are so big….
God help us.
