The inventor of a new statue depicting President Trump sitting on the toilet while tweeting says the figure will be heading to London just in time for the president’s scheduled state visit next month.
Don Lessem, a renowned dinosaur expert and founder of the Jurassic Foundation, said in a recent interview with the Daily Kos, a liberal-leaning blog and internet forum, that his goal “is to create this year’s attention-getting and bile-producing sequel to the Trump baby balloon, and one that could be more easily deployed at rallies all over the world.”

The new statue Lessem created shows Trump with an enlarged head sitting on a toilet with his pants down while tweeting. A video Lessem shared to YouTube shows the figure saying things like “No collusion,” “I’m a very stable genius” and “you are fake news.”
It also makes fart noises and wears a “Make America Great Again” hat that includes the text: “Impeach Me!”
“When not on the links, Trump apparently spends most of his time on the can tweeting, so I figured to pay full tribute to him he’d have to be positioned on a golden toilet. For his own safety, we thought to put his overlong tie into the toilet itself,” Lessem told the Daily Kos. “He’s tweeting of course, and his mouth moves to utter deathless quotes in his own voice …. His Make America Great Again cap is subtitled ‘Impeach Me’ — as if we needed a reminder.”
“The fart noises, however, are not his own — recordings of his flatulence are apparently unavailable,” he said.
“By the way, it being China where it was made, the factory owner asked me, ‘Can you really do this without going to prison?’ ‘Answer cloudy, ask again later,’ I told him,” Lessem added.
