Trump backs Huang amid probe into alleged spying affair, Congress returns after GOP election disaster: live updates

As Veterans Day approaches, a statue sharply satirizing the president and his lack of military service has appeared on the National Mall.

Donald Trump did not serve in the Vietnam War, citing bone spurs in his feet. The installation, created by the group Secret Handshake, features a huge golden Trump on a pedestal rubbing a sore foot.

A plaque reads: “We honor the service and sacrifice of our Commander in Chief, Donald J. Trump. He is a soldier in spirit, who marched to the front lines to dodge the draft, armed with a perfect diagnosis of bone spurs. We salute a leader who knows you can’t say sacrifice without ‘self,’ and a warrior who reminds us that sometimes, when called to stand, it’s better to just sit back and rest your feet. “

The facility also includes a 2013 quote by Trump where he captioned a photo of himself in his uniform during his time at the New York Military Academy.

“I can be very military,” reads the plaque.

The installation also has an interactive element, according to a statement from Secret Handshake.

It will be a “six-foot draft-dodging bone spur mascot” named “Toey.”
