Britain: Town Builds 36-Foot Trump Statue...So They Can Burn It

"Literally helping Trump to live out his own catchphrase."

A small town in Britain has decided to take the Burning Man art festival across the pond by building its own 36-foot wooden statue of Donald Trump holding the severed head of Hillary Clinton, which the townspeople will subsequently burn in a massive bonfire.

From Breitbart London:

The 36-foot steel framed and wood-clad figure shows Mr. Trump gesticulating as if articulating a point, while cradling the disembodied head of Democrat Presidential hopeful Clinton in his off-hand.

Mr. Trump is seen sporting American flag socks and a tie, as well as cotton boxer shorts emblazoned with a recurring stereotypical Mexican male motif.

According to the Daily Telegraph, the Kentish town of Edenbridge bonfire committee (yes, they have a bonfire committee) selected the statue to jeer at the real-estate mogul — "a tradition they have been keeping up with high-profile individuals for decades," notes Breitbart.

Jenni Fox of the organizing committee said of the decision: "We were spoilt for choice in terms of potential contenders with a shortlist of around 10 potential runners but the people’s choice stole the vote."

"We are literally helping Trump to live out his own catchphrase ‘burn it down’ by exploding the 11 meter effigy as the opening act for our fireworks display," she said. "It only seemed fair that Hillary Clinton took some of the limelight, and we are sure the presidential candidates will be pleased to see they are both featured."

Eldenbridge will burn the Trump effigy by packing it with fireworks and combustible materials. It will go up in flames alongside an effigy of the treasonous historical figure Guy Fawkes on Saturday night.
