An Ohio artist has been commissioned to create a two story high bronze statue of president Trump in the iconic pose he struck after surviving the assassination attempt in Pennsylvania earlier this year.
Breitbart News reports that the statue, expected to be completed by Trumps inauguration in January, was funded by cryptocurrency investors associated with $PATRIOT.
The artist, Alan Cottrill, is well known for creating the Thomas Edison statue in the Capitols Statuary Hall and has also created numerous presidential statues for universities and museums.

Ive sculpted and cast 400 life size or larger bronze statues across America and the Patriot Statue is our largest single figure to date, Cottrill said in a statement to Breitbart.
Dustin Stockton, a leader of the project, told Breitbart The statue had to be Trumpian. It had to be larger than life and over the top.
The report notes that Stockton has spoken with members of Trumps inaugural team about unveiling it at the ceremony.
The statue will depict Trump with his fist raised in defiance after surviving the attempt on his life back in July.
The report also notes that 10 smaller 18-inch bronze replicas of the statue will be created. These Patriot Awards will be presented to notable figures within Trumps inner circle prior to the inauguration.
