Ohio artist Alan Cottrill is working on a larger-than-life bronze statue that will honor President-elect Donald Trump’s bravery and defiance in the face of a would-be assassin.
The two-story tall statue will capture the iconic moment a bloodied Trump, surrounded by Secret Service agents, rose to his feet in Butler, Pennsylvania, and pumped his fist in the air while telling the crowd, “Fight, fight, fight!”
Cottrill, who created the Thomas Edison statue in Statuary Hall in the U.S. Capitol, was commissioned by crypto investors with the project $PATRIOT, according to Breitbart News — the outlet said Trump’s pro-crypto policies were a motivating factor for the project.
“I’ve sculpted and cast 400 life-size or larger bronze statues across America and the Patriot Statue is our largest single figure to date,” the artist said.

The statue is still under construction with the hope of being able to unveil it at Trump’s inauguration on January 20, 2025.
“The Patriot Statue of Donald J. Trump was our largest and most controversial undertaking, especially considering the scale and relevance of the event in Butler that took place,” Cottrill said.
Social media users were jacked over the “epic” project and saw it as a fitting response — or replacement — for the litany of George Floyd statues that followed the drug addict’s death.
Here’s a quick sampling of responses to the story, as seen on X:

Good. I really think if he can get done half of what he’s promised to do he should probably be put on Mount Rushmore which will be amazing to watch lefties melt as it’s being constructed

Bronze statue today.
Rushmore next decade.
..IF he abolishes the income tax.

Trump deserves a statue, unlike George Floyd

The man deserves a statue in DC as well, just to piss them all off…
