A massive gold-colored statue of President Donald Trump was formally unveiled at Trump National Doral Miami during a ceremony led by Evangelical pastor Mark Burns.
The towering monument, standing 22 feet high, was installed among palm trees on the grounds of Trump’s golf resort in Doral, Florida.
The sculpture portrays Trump raising his fist in the air, mirroring the gesture he made after surviving the assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania.
During the unveiling ceremony, the statue remained covered in flowing white and blue fabric. Several dozen attendees sat nearby as Burns addressed the crowd from a podium.
“Today at Trump National Doral Miami, we witnessed an unforgettable moment,” Burns wrote on social media before emphasizing that the gilded effigy was not a false idol.
“Let me be clear: this is not a golden calf,” he said. “This statue is a celebration of life. It is a symbol of resilience, freedom, patriotism, strength, and the will power to keep fighting for the future of America.”
Burns, who has previously spoken publicly about his belief that Trump was chosen by God, said the monument also serves as a reminder that divine protection has preserved the president through multiple assassination attempts.
At one stage of the event, Burns held his phone to the microphone so attendees could hear remarks from Trump himself.
“I want to thank Mark Burns, a pastor, he’s a good pastor, he’s a good man,” Trump said. “I’ve known him a long time, he’s been with me from the beginning, right from the beginning, maybe about two days later.”
“I want to thank everybody there,” he added. “I know it was done from love.”
The bronze statue itself measures roughly 15 feet and sits atop a 7-foot pedestal.
