Overview
- The 15-foot, gold-leafed bronze statue depicting President Trump with a raised fist remains at sculptor Alan Cottrill’s Ohio foundry.
- Cottrill says he is owed about $90,000 on the roughly $360,000 commission and will not release or install the work until paid.
- A steel-and-concrete pedestal for the piece has been installed at Trump National Doral in Miami, but no unveiling date has been announced.
- Backers used images of the sculpture to promote the $PATRIOT memecoin, which has fallen more than 95% after Trump launched a rival $TRUMP token.
- Dustin Stockton is among those tied to the $PATRIOT effort, and the White House says it is not involved with the crypto project or the statue.
