A 10-foot-tall satirical trophy appeared in Foley Square earlier this week in mockery of President Donald Trump\u2019s foreign policy decisions.<\/p>\n

The trophy, adorned with ornaments and other items around its base\u2014including a WWE championship belt\u2014first appeared on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., on July 13.<\/p>\n

The golden monument, designed by the anonymous art collective Secret Handshake, sits just a few blocks from the Manhattan courthouse where Trump faced his hush money trial<\/a> in 2024.<\/p>\n

A plaque at the trophy\u2019s base emphasizes his \u201centhusiastic involvement in the Iran War.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe hereby award President Donald J. Trump this participation trophy for his enthusiastic involvement in the Iran War,” the plaque reads. “While some concern themselves with military strategy, diplomacy, or measurable outcomes, President Trump demonstrated the courage to participate regardless of the final score.”<\/p>\n

The installation will remain on display throughout the week. <\/p>\n

The artist said they hope New Yorkers will continue to help the collection grow, noting, \u201cNo accomplishment is too distant, too small, or too unearned to bestow on President Trump.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A 10-foot-tall satirical trophy appeared in Foley Square earlier this week in mockery of President Donald Trump\u2019s foreign…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":310826,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[153,75,9,11,10],"class_list":["post-310825","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-york","tag-donald-trump","tag-manhattan","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-headlines","tag-new-york-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/310825","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=310825"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/310825\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/310826"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=310825"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=310825"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=310825"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
