Tiny Busts of President Trump Pop Up Across Brooklyn With Signs That Read ‘Pee On Me’

Several small statues of President Donald Trump – circa 1980 – with yellow signs that read “Pee on me” are popping up throughout Brooklyn, New York. The statues encourage dogs (and possibly humans?) to urinate on the bust of Trump which is placed atop a small patch of astroturf.

According to DailyMail.com the statues were placed throughout Park Slope over the weekend by advertising professional Phil Gable, along with a shameless plug for his branded content studio Porcupine Armadillo.

Gable explained that he used the much more youthful 1980’s version of Trump because he believes that’s how the president views himself.

“I went with the younger-looking Trump because I think that’s probably how he sees himself, especially when he’s paying Russian escorts for golden showers.”

The tiny statuettes are mounted atop little patches of astroturf that has been sprayed with dog potty-training aids that actually encourage any dogs who happen to be passing by to relieve themselves.

“I wanted to see how people reacted, and the reaction has been really great so far—I mean really great, probably some of the greatest reactions anyone has ever had to anything, ever.”

Gable told Gothamist:

“It was partly a public service. As a dog owner, I know people get understandably annoyed when dogs pee on their flower beds. But a dog’s instinct to pee where another dog has previously peed is quite strong. They need positive places to pee. If you reward them enough for peeing in appropriate places, that’s the best way to keep them from peeing in places that annoy people. So I sprayed the whole thing down with a dog potty-training aid to make it attractive to initial users. I think we’ll have critical mass very soon.

And it was largely just a personal expression of my own disdain for Donald Trump, both as a President and a human being. I find it cathartic anytime I can express disdain through comedy, especially if it’s related to politics. And this case, it’s both funny and useful, which makes me happy. I know this isn’t a grand gesture of protest. He’s not going to hear about dogs peeing on a tiny statue of him and just say “That’s it. Now, I’m stepping down.” But everybody has their own way of dealing with things. For some it’s marching. For me, it’s humor and satire. Sometimes it’s a video, sometimes it’s on stage, and this time it happened to be a weird little art project. And I felt like this week was a particularly disturbing one in the ongoing shit show that is the 45th Presidency, so it seemed like a good time to find a new, funny way to express the disgust that so many of us feel.

While I was setting it up, one woman came by with her two daughters. They really liked it—they took pictures with it, and she thanked me and said “This is the kind of thing that makes me love Brooklyn.” And being near people who appreciate this kind of thing on that kind of level makes me feel a little more hopeful.”

The tiny busts of President Trump placed on the patches of astroturf are easy to remove, but Gable said he planned to “make another fresh batch” of statuettes that would include cables to anchor them down ensuring they would be “physically secured in place.”
