A life-size naked statue of Donald Trump is being auctioned to raise money for an immigrant support group.
The statue, called “The Emperor Has No Balls,” is expected to fetch between $10,000 and $20,000 at auction in Los Angeles on October 22.
It was one of several naked statues of the Republican presidential candidate that turned up in American cities in August, created by an anonymous artists’ collective called INDECLINE.
One statue depicting a naked Trump with his hands crossed across a sizable belly appeared in New York’s Union Square before the city’s department of parks and recreation smashed it up.
“NYC Parks stands firmly against any unpermitted erection in city parks, no matter how small,” a parks department spokesman quipped.
Other naked Trump statues appeared in Los Angeles, Seattle, San Francisco and Cleveland.
A portion of the profits from the sale will go to the National Immigration Forum, which campaigns for the rights of immigrants.
If elected, the Republican candidate has pledged to build a wall on the border with Mexico, as well as ban foreigners from countries “compromised by terrorism” from entering the U.S.
Trump isn’t the only presidential hopeful to be featured in the auction. An artwork called “Hillary Clinton Cojones,” featuring the Democratic candidate wearing a tuxedo, is expected to fetch up to $15,000.
