Overview

  • A bronze statuette commemorating the July 2024 assassination attempt on Donald Trump has been placed in the Oval Office near the Resolute Desk.
  • The sculpture captures the moment Trump raised his fist and chanted 'fight, fight, fight' after a bullet grazed his ear, alongside three Secret Service agents ushering him offstage.
  • Sean Curran, now director of the Secret Service, is among the agents depicted in the artwork, which also features a draped American flag.
  • Artist Stan Watts is reportedly planning a nine-foot bronze version of the statue, with fundraising efforts underway through the Trump Statue Project.
  • The White House has not commented on the statue's origin or installation, which follows other artworks commemorating the Butler incident, including a painting by Marc Lipp in the East Wing.
