Washington DC [US], May 11 (ANI): US President Donald Trump has added a new art piece to the Oval Office— a statue depicting the aftermath of the July 2024 assassination attempt against him in Butler, Pennsylvania.
The sculpture was spotted on a side table next to Trump’s Resolute Desk on Friday as he signed several executive orders in front of reporters. In a post on X, the White House stated, “FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! Spotted in the Oval Office.”
The statue portrays Trump defiantly raising his fist in the air moments after being struck in the ear by one of would-be assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks’ bullets on July 13. “Fight Fight! Fight!” Trump had shouted at rallygoers at the Butler Farm Show Grounds, capturing the iconic moment depicted by the artist.
The artwork also features three Secret Service agents, including the current director of the agency, Sean Curran, attempting to usher Trump offstage.
The Oval Office statue isn’t the only piece of art related to the Butler assassination attempt on display at the White House. A painting depicting Trump moments after a bullet grazed his ear during the campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, last July is also on display. In the painting, Trump is shown defiantly raising his fist in the air with blood splattered across his face and the American flag in the background.
Special Assistant to the President and White House Principal Deputy Press Secretary Harrison Fields clarified in a post on X that “Obama remains in the Entrance Hall of the White House State Floor.”
Fields’ post revealed that the Obama portrait has been relocated to the Entrance Hall of the White House State Floor, while the portrait of former President Barack Obama continues to hang in a prime spot, overlooking former President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s Steinway grand piano, as reported by the New York Post. (ANI)
