"Don Colossus": this is the giant statue of Donald Trump, covered in gold, that will be installed in Florida
A giant gold-covered statue of Donald Trump, named 'Don Colossus,' measuring 4.5 meters tall, is set to be installed in Florida after being presented to the President of the United States.
A giant statue of Donald Trump, named 'Don Colossus,' has been commissioned by a group of cryptocurrency investors and measures an impressive 4.5 meters in height. The statue was originally sent to Washington D.C. in early January 2025 for a presentation to President Trump. However, it has been reported that the statue is now planned to be installed in Florida, although the exact date of installation is still under consideration, pending the availability of the former president.
The statue, which costs a staggering $300,000, showcases a lavish design, being covered in gold, which might contribute to its potential visibility as a tourist attraction in Florida. This extravagant tribute aims not only to celebrate Trump's influence but also to capitalize on the interest generated by cryptocurrency investors who funded the project. The project reflects the ongoing impact of Trump's persona on American culture and politics, particularly among his supporters.
With its large size and controversial subject, 'Don Colossus' is likely to attract substantial media attention and public discourse upon its installation. The decision to place such a statue in Florida also suggests a strategic move to engage with Trump's base in a state where he has maintained considerable popularity. The implications of this statue will open discussions about political imagery and public expressions of support for political figures in the United States.
