Trump, and by extension, Trump-like people never pay their bills.
Cottrill is currently holding the completed work at his Ohio foundry due to a dispute with the crypto bros who commissioned it. He has complained that they unlawfully used an image of his work to market their memecoin, which has since cratered in value.
According to the Times, he says he is owed $90,000 by his patrons out of a $150,000 lump sum he was to be paid for the rights to the statue.

They already have what they wanted. An image to market, and the ability to say, "We paid an artist to create a statue of you sir!" He's never getting the rest of his money. Get a brain, moran!
On a side note, the hair on the thing makes it look like he has a ball cap on.

That was my first question. Horrifying, unbelievable, but true, like so much with Drumpt.

I can only hope it eventually gets pulled down like the statute of Saddam Hussein.

And they find Trump hiding in a "spider hole", excepting that the goober won't fit in a "spider hole".

The similarity to "Don Corleone" is **PURELY** a coincidence. They would never do that deliberately !! nt
