PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — A statue of a naked Donald Trump, standing several stories tall, is causing a social media sensation and stopping traffic in Kensington. Voters have quite a lot to say about it, as well.

Ruby from North Philadelphia said she found out about it on Facebook. “I’m actually calling my dad about it so he can come see it.”

Chris from Fishtown says a friend told him about it. “My buddy was riding the L and thought he was tripping. So I came over, and it’s real.”

It’s very real. Ruby, Chris and dozens of passersby stood along the 3700 block of Kensington Avenue, looking up at the 43-foot tall, 10-foot wide sculpture of the Republican presidential candidate depicted as a naked baby, or a nude marionette, held up by a crane.

If you see that too much, you'll go blind.

and I had seen something posted about it on DU earlier this month (or last month).

When I heard about this on the radio this morning, I knew what they were talking about, but was trying to figure out how they would "install" that, along with the crane, in that location. Then I found the article and a pic!

(I used to substitute teach in Kensington so know the area, although haven't been over there in many many years and I know they are finally trying to clean it up after it had literally and sadly, become a drug addict haven and dumping ground neighborhood)

It has been in other cities and moves around.

I think the first time I saw it was when someone posted about it here on DU when it was in the Las Vegas area I think.
