He’s Back: ‘Naked Trump’ Statue Perches On New Jersey Rooftop

HUDSON COUNTY, NJ — You weren’t hallucinating, New Jersey. There really was a naked Donald Trump leering down at you from a Jersey City rooftop on Wednesday.

Motorists heading toward the Holland Tunnel first spotted the life-size sculpture during their morning commutes, trapped in their cars and unable to escape the naked flesh of the Republican presidential candidate taunting them from atop a Newark Avenue building. It was crudely structured, with a jowly scowl and an unflattering endowment that was somehow glaringly visible even from hundreds of feet away.

Worst of all – according to Indecline, the guerrilla art and activist group behind Naked Trump – the statue may remain part of daily commutes until the 2016 presidential election is over.

The statue is part of an anti-Trump-themed campaign that Indecline calls “The Emperor Has No Balls” – a play on the old fable “The Emperor Has No Clothes” – and is an attempt to “uncover” Trump’s true agenda, the group claims.

New Jersey isn’t the only place to have Naked Trump sightings. The statue has recently been seen in several major cities, including San Francisco, New York, Seattle and Cleveland.

Mana Contemporary, a Jersey City-based art collective and the owner of the building that hosted Naked Trump, helped to bring the most recent installations of the statue to Hudson County and Miami, Florida.

“Created by the art collective Indecline, [the statues] represent our desire to vividly communicate our profound anti-bigotry sentiment during this upcoming election,” Mana President Eugene Lemay wrote on Mana Contemporary's Facebook page.

"Unlike the first five, these two are set to run until the election in November at which time they will be returned to Indecline and put up for auction," an Indecline member told The Washington Post.

The Miami statue was placed atop a billboard and faces traffic on Interstate 95, according to NBC affiliate WTVJ.
