A golden statue of President Donald Trump unveiled at his Doral golf resort in Florida is drawing new scrutiny after cryptocurrency entrepreneur Brock Pierce, a documented associate of Jeffrey Epstein, appeared as a central figure at the ribbon-cutting ceremony.
Pierce, a former child actor and co-founder of Tether, was photographed helping unveil the 22-foot monument known as the "Don Colossus" at Trump National Doral Miami. The statue, covered in gold leaf, depicts Trump with his fist raised, echoing the pose he struck after surviving the July 13, 2024, assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania. The Daily Beast reported that the statue was funded by crypto investors promoting the $PATRIOT memecoin and cost about $450,000.
