BREAKING: CALLING ALL BONE SPURS...LOL! Anonymous artists put a golden statue of Trump clutching his “bone spur” foot on the National Mall just in time for Veterans Day.
There has been no other American president as obsessed with creating grand monuments to himself as Donald Trump. Trump loves to rename existing arts centers after himself (even if they’re already named after someone else), wants to build a triumphal arch to be named after him in a place where no one else wants it, and he particularly loves golden statues of himself.
We don’t think he will love this statue created and placed on the National Mall today by the anonymous art collective The Secret Handshake.
The collective installed a gold statue on Monday called “The Foot Soldier,” showing Trump sitting down and grabbing his right foot, a reference to the bone spurs that kept him out of Vietnam. It stands near the National Gallery of Art’s Sculpture Garden and will stay up through Veterans Day.
The inscription on it is brutal. It honors Trump as “a soldier in spirit, who marched to the front lines of dodging the draft, armed with a perfect diagnosis of bone spurs.” It salutes “a leader who knows you can’t spell sacrifice without ‘I,’” and “a warrior who reminds us that sometimes when you’re called to stand up, it’s best to just sit down and rest your feet.”
The plaque also quotes something Trump himself said in 2013: “I can be very military.”
Here’s the history behind the biting satire. Trump got five deferments during the Vietnam War: four were student deferments for school, but a fifth was based on a long-disputed bone spur diagnosis. Other young men his age without a father willing to allegedly bribe a doctor for a spurious diagnosis were sent to Vietnam in his stead.
The statue also came with a mascot. A 6-foot-tall big toe named “Toey” stood next to it and mocked the president, according to The Washington Post. “Draft dodger? I hardly know her,” Toey said. Then Toey did a Trump impression: “I’m the biggest toe. The hugest toe. Huge. Hugest toe. Largest toe that anyone’s ever seen.”
The White House did not see the humor. Spokesperson Davis Ingle said, “Trump Derangement Syndrome is a sick and incurable disease that has rotted the brains of these Democrat activists.”
The artists responded: “We are honored that the White House has diagnosed us with Trump Derangement Syndrome, though we have checked and it seems like that does not qualify for us to skip out on the latest war he’s created.”
They also went straight at Iran. They said they wanted to honor “a simpler time when the President would do anything in his power to avoid military action.” Then they added: “If only his prescription for bone spurs had lasted long enough for him to consider them when invading Iran.”
That’s the part that stings. The man who found a way out of his own war has spent about nine months sending other Americans into one. At least 19 have been confirmed dead and more than 820 wounded. The Army has been practicing how to dig mass graves on the battlefield. Sailors have tried to take their own lives during deployment.
This isn’t the group’s first piece. The Secret Handshake has also previously built statues about Trump’s friendship with Jeffrey Epstein, and a giant sarcastic “participation” trophy for the Iran war.
This Veterans Day, honor the people who actually served. The man who sat it out with a sore foot doesn’t need any monuments to help people remember his cowardice. Please like and share if you agree.
"true patriotism means standing by the country rather than blindly supporting the president."
These famous words come from Teddy Roosevelt's 1918 book, "The Great Adventure." Roosevelt famously emphasized that standing by the country is the true measure of patriotism, rather than supporting any official whose actions fail the nation.
Loyalty belongs to American ideals and the nation itself, not to any single person in power.
Maga is the enemy from within.
sir excuse me, i dont think jeeps are supposed to sound that scary
this thing sounds less like an suv and more like somebody stuffed a pissed off v8 into a jeep and told it to behave
the exhaust note alone is enough to make you forget you're looking at something built to crawl over rocks
and judging by the way it's moving, this jeep clearly has no interest in behaving either
some jeeps are built for the trails, this was built to terrorize the streets
America is infected with oligarchs hidden in plutocracy.
Wars in the middle east, Healthcare, Iran..
All of it, hidden oligarchs.
The lie is that this is capitalism and our founders would support this... They wouldnt.
Meanwhile, @Beezay22 has a few things to say at a school board meeting in Virginia Beach. This man is committed and speaks to them all the time. All politics starts locally. #DemsUnited
