Trump haters want 43ft nude statue of him burned as the effigy at Burning Man 2025
After the hulking nude statue of Donald Trump was suddenly removed from its roadside spot in Nevada last night, internet users have begun suggesting possible festival appearances for it
The giant statue of a naked Donald Trump is being touted as a potential attraction at next year’s Burning Man festival.
The satirical edifice of the former US president seemingly sprouted up over the weekend and haunted drivers along a main road just north of Las Vegas. Standing at 43-feet-tall and weighing around 6,000 pounds, the depiction of the MAGA man was reportedly dubbed 'Crooked and Obscene' by its makers.
Although New York Post reported the statue had been taken down last night (September 30), its gloating figure still casts a lasting shadow over the Nevada desert.

There's lots of quality news coming out of the US.
Many on Twitter/X weighed in to give their two cents on what might happen to the “offensive marionette”.
One particularly inventive bloke on the platform simply wrote underneath a post about the figure: “Burning Man 2025”, implying the towering orange manbaby might be one of the effigies burnt at the infamous festival next year.
There was also a heated debate in the comment section about naked Trump’s manhood, an issue the man himself has been vocal about in the past.
“The sculptor was extremely generous with the mushroom,” said someone. Another simply chimed: "The Emperor has No Balls".
In response, another person offered: “It should have been much smaller.”
“It is 43 feet tall, 10 feet wide... weighs 6,000 pounds, and is made of foam over rebar,” a spokesperson for the installation said in an interview with News 3 Las Vegas.
The hulking idol had countless motorists pull over to have a look during the statue’s short, but affecting, 48-hour stint.
“When I was pulling out, I looked over and I saw something hanging,” said one anonymous resident during a roadside chat with News 3 underneath Naked Trump.
“It looked like Donald Trump,” he added. “So I had to get closer to see what it was. And it is, Donald Trump.” However, the statue was looking quite pale and in need of one of Trump's famous Fanta spray tans.
