Update: Another piece of political art has popped up — this time in Philadelphia. Philly Voice reports that a statue of Donald Trump has been placed in Maja park, behind a bronze sculpture of a nude woman. Beneath it is a plaque that quotes Trump on the “Access Hollywood” tape that was leaked before the 2016 election: “I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait,” the plaque says. “And when you’re a star they let you do it. Grab them by the p****. You can do anything.” An identical statue appeared in Portland, Oregon on Sunday but was vandalized and removed within hours. Here’s more.
