Statue in Washington mocks Trump for avoiding military service
A mysterious group of artists installed a statue in Washington, mocking President Trump for avoiding the Vietnam draft due to a medical diagnosis. The statue depicts Trump sitting and holding his bare foot, and it appeared two days before Veterans Day. The piece, painted gold and titled "Pawns," includes a plaque that satirically honors Trump's service. Trump received five deferments from military service during the Vietnam War, four for education and one for bone spurs. The artists, known as The Secret Handshake, used an intermediary to gain permission for the installation.
