A satirical statue mocking President Donald Trump's Vietnam War draft deferment appeared on the National Mall, created by the protest group Secret Handshake. The gold-painted installation, titled 'The Foot Soldier', depicts Trump alongside a mascot named Toey, referencing his bone spurs diagnosis. The plaque beneath the statue sarcastically honors Trump's military record, describing him as a soldier who reached the front lines of avoiding the draft. The installation is the group's latest political artwork, following previous displays including a golden statue of Trump holding hands with Jeffrey Epstein and a golden toilet.
