Overview

  • The White House shared an image of the statuette on X, captioned 'FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! Spotted in the Oval Office.'
  • The statue portrays Trump raising his fist moments after being grazed by a bullet at a July 2024 rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
  • The artwork includes three Secret Service agents, including current director Sean Curran, ushering Trump offstage during the incident.
  • Created by artist Stan Watts, the statuette is a precursor to a planned nine-foot bronze monument, as outlined by the Trump Statue Project.
  • This installation follows a Marc Lipp painting of the same event, which replaced Barack Obama's portrait in the Grand Foyer last month.
