"The anonymous artists who have taunted President Donald #Trump and his administration with more than a dozen statues and installations around #WashingtonDC struck again Monday, this time with a statue mocking Trump for avoiding #militaryService because of #bonespurs .
"The new statue of Trump, spray-painted gold, appeared on the National Mall, near the National Gallery of Art’s Sculpture Garden. The statue, erected two days before #VeteransDay, depicts the president sitting, grimacing and clutching his right foot. Beneath Trump is a sign that reads #TheFootSoldier.
" 'We honor the service and sacrifice of our Commander in Chief, Donald J. Trump. He’s a soldier in spirit, who marched to the front lines of dodging the draft, armed with a perfect diagnosis of bone spurs,' reads a plaque at the base of the statue.
" 'We salute a leader who knows you can’t spell sacrifice without ‘I,’ and a warrior who reminds us that sometimes when you’re called to stand up, it’s best to just sit down and rest your feet.'
"Trump received five deferments during the #VietnamWar : four for his studies in college [and was NOT the top of his class -- more LIES], and one for bone spurs in his feet."
