Unflattering life-sized statues of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump have popped up around the United States — in all his naked glory.

The sculpture first appeared in Union Square, Manhattan, on Thursday morning, as the billionaire’s microscopic privates spurred a social media frenzy.

There were also four other versions of the business tycoon appearing in Los Angeles, Cleveland, Seattle and San Francisco.

A Las Vegas-based artist named “Ginger”, a member of the anarchist collective called “Indecline”, claimed responsibility for the statue.

It reportedly took the artist four months, working 25 hours a week since the commissioning of the monument in April, The Washington Post reported.

Ginger used 135kg of clay and silicone to create the statues.

However, the hard work was short-lived, as a pair of workers from the city’s Parks Department were sent to remove the sculpture just after 1:00pm.

Only the feet and base remain, which includes an engraved plaque that reads, “The Emperor Has No Balls.”

But despite removing the statue, the NYC Parks Department delivered parting shot at Mr Trump’s unsightly doppelgänger.
