When the nation was going crazy over nude statues of Donald Trump that popped up across the country one morning in August, even the New York City Parks Department got in on the troll game, issuing a statement that it stood “firmly against any unpermitted erection in city parks, no matter how small.” News outlets across the country raced to grab printable photos of the statues as crowds amassed to take selfies.
Nearly Naked Hillary didn’t even have a chance at that much publicity, as a woman attacked a statue that appeared in New York City Tuesday morning after it had stood for about 90 minutes.
It didn’t take Greenwich Village to raze this brainchild, as a lone woman took it upon herself to knock it over, break off pieces, and eventually call police while sitting on it — apparently some feral display of domination with which we’re unfamiliar.

Grotesque? OK, that’s fair. As gross as the Trump statues were, this one outdid them in every sense, depicting a suckling Wall Street banker and exposing cloven hooves beneath those cankles. (Consider that your trigger warning.)

That word, hypocrite, came up quite a bit in online discussions of the statue’s short public life.

Fair is fair I guess, everyone thought it pretty funny when it was a Trump statue.
