Overview

• Secretly installed on July 23 at East 42nd Street and 2nd Avenue the resin sculpture depicts President Trump emerging from a manhole accompanied by a small rat.
• Crafted over three weeks in France and shipped in parts the life-size figure faced the Chrysler Building as a deliberate contrast between monumentality and the grotesque.
• It was removed later that day by a maintenance worker employed by SL Green Realty Corp., which owns the building at the installation site.
• White House Deputy Press Secretary Abigail Jackson dismissed it as a flattering imitation; she suggested the artist 'go back to the drawing board.'
• With no further public interventions or official actions the work lives on only as Colomina’s 'Make America Grime Again' Instagram caption.
