A golden statue of former President Donald Trump wearing U.S. flag shorts went viral on social media after appearing at the Conservative Political Action Conference.
Many attendees at the annual conservative gathering, this year located in Orlando, Florida, could be heard responding with comments of “awesome” and “that is so cool” as the statue was wheeled around the hotel, according to the Independent.

On social media, some mocked the statue, comparing it to a false golden idol found in the Bible.
Bloomberg reporter William Turton spotted the statue at the booth for “Look Ahead America” and said many people were lining up to take pictures with the statue.

The conference will culminate on Sunday with a speech from Trump, who is expected to lay out his political plans and his vision for the GOP. His eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., addressed the crowd on Friday night and promised that his father’s speech would not be “low energy.”
