A bronze two-story high statue of President Donald Trump in the iconic pose chanting ‘fight fight fight’ following his near assassination in Pennsylvania is being constructed by an artist from Ohio.
The statue is expected to be completed by Trump’s inauguration on January 20.
The statue was funded by cryptocurrency investors associated with $PATRIOT.
Alan Cottrill, the artist constructing the Trump statue, has created numerous presidential statues for universities and museums and is known for creating the Thomas Edison statue in the Capitol’s Statuary Hall.
“I’ve sculpted and cast 400 life size or larger bronze statues across America and the Patriot Statue is our largest single figure to date,” Cottrill said in a statement.

“The Patriot Statue of Donald J. Trump was our largest and most controversial undertaking, especially considering the scale and relevance of the event in Butler that took place,” Cottrill added.
Dustin Stockton, the project leader, added the statue “had to be Trumpian. It had to be larger than life and over the top.”
Stockton has spoken with Trump’s inaugural team members about unveiling it at the inauguration ceremony.
“It’s been one hell of a ride the last decade; the PATRIOT project, statue, and tour is our way of claiming how these incredible times are remembered by history,” Stockton said.
The statue will capture the epic and now historic moment Trump raised his fist in defiance after surviving the assassination attempt.
10 smaller 18-inch bronze replicas of the statue will be created.
These “Patriot Awards” will be presented to notable figures within Trump’s inner circle prior to the inauguration.
