Giant Naked Trump Statue Arrives In Detroit Ahead of Ex-President's Big Speech: 'I Just Can't Believe They Are Showing Everything'

An enormous naked Trump puppet has arrived in Detroit ahead of the former President's speech, the latest stop on the political art installation's American tour.

The depiction of a fully nude Donald Trump is suspended by crane and surrounded by chain-link fencing, a noticeable alteration to the scenery at Detroit's Lincoln Street Art Park. The artist behind the massive hanging sculpture said it represents "transparency-or lack thereof-in politics," and challenges "viewers to think critically about political influence."

Two security guards stand watch to ensure no harm comes to the 43-foot tall monument, which is visiting Detroit on its "Crooked and Obscene" tour. The pair told Detroit Free Press they've been fielding questions from on-lookers since their guard began at 1 a.m.

"I don't know what to make of it. People are taking pictures, laughing. It's fully naked," said one guard, Jay Moody. "I just can't believe they are showing everything."

The Trump effigy first appeared in Las Vegas, Nevada and stopped in Phoenix, Arizona before arriving in Michigan.

Details of how long the marionette will be in Detroit or where it will go next are presently unknown.
