Overview

  • A bronze statue commemorating the July 2024 assassination attempt on Donald Trump has been placed beside the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office.
  • The statue captures the moment Trump raised his fist and shouted 'Fight! Fight! Fight!' after being grazed by a bullet at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
  • It includes three Secret Service agents, one now the agency's director, Sean Curran, escorting Trump offstage, with an American flag in the background.
  • The artwork, created by Stan Watts, is part of the Trump Statue Project, which is raising funds for a nine-foot-tall version of the sculpture.
  • This addition follows a painting of the same event installed in April, with Barack Obama’s portrait relocated to another area of the White House.
