An Ohio artist has forged a larger-than-life 15-foot-tall, $1 million bronze statue of President Trump that will tour the country before eventually ending up at a future Trump presidential library.
Sculptor Alan Cottrill’s “Don Colossus” immortalizes the iconic moment Trump defiantly pumped his fist into the air after narrowly escaping an assassination attempt during a rally in Butler, PA on July 13.
The six-ton statute was forged in Zanesville, OH, by the master bronzesmith and was commissioned just a week after the shooting.
here would have been no refund or return should the election have gone the other way.

Cottrill is best known for his statue of Thomas Edison, which has represented Ohio in the U.S. Capitol since 2016.
The bronze will be unveiled Saturday evening at the Capital One Arena in Washington D.C. It’s then expected to tour the country.
It was commissioned by several dozen wealthy crypto-currency investors as a tribute to the president, who they hope will be a friend of the industry.
