Trump's naked statues pulls crowds at parks

Scores of onlookers have thronged parks in America to take selfies with life-sized nude statues of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump meant to ridicule the estate mogul turned politician.

The statues are causing frenzy with an artists’ collective taking credit for exposing unflattering scrutiny of Trump which features copies of the orange-tinted likeness – featuring a massive belly, small fingers and missing some genital parts.

Reports say the statues were simultaneously unveiled in downtown Manhattan’s Union Square Park in New York and public places in four other U.S. cities.

58-year-old retiree, Ina Copa from the Bronx borough of New York, who went to the park to meet a friend for lunch said she was not expecting to see the statue which the collective titled “The Emperor Has No Balls.”

“It was crazy: I was coming off the train and going straight into the park, minding my own business, and there it was,” she said, laughing.
