If you missed your chance to gawk at or take a selfie with the life-size nude sculptures of Donald Trump that appeared in Manhattan, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, and Cleveland on Thursday, well, NBC News has a tastefully blurred Tour de Trump au Naturel so you can vicariously relive the juvenile hijinks, but with jaunty music:
The statues feature a pudgy, naked Trump with regular sized hands but notably small genitalia. Ginger, the monster-crafting artist who made the "Emperor Has No Balls" sculptures for the Indecline collective, said he expected the statutes to stay up for no longer than 30-45 minutes, but at least in New York's Union Square, the city Parks Department did not seem to be in a huge rush to dismantle the installation. And after they did, Parks Department spokesman Sam Biederman sent this statement to Gothamist: "NYC Parks stands firmly against any unpermitted erection in city parks, no matter how small." New York, man.
