'Trump Troll' Makes Appearance At Jane Warner Plaza

Just one day after an unflattering, life-sized statue of presidential candidate Donald Trump appeared in the Castro on Thursday, another Trump made an appearance yesterday.

From sculptor Rob Browne, who created the diminutive statue:

The big, naked Trump statue came and went but there's another Trump statue that is getting "short shrift." The Trump Troll continues a pop-up tour of the Bay Area that began a month ago and includes places like Facebook, Stanford, Google, Twitter, SF City Hall, the beach, etc. The artist feels the word "troll" pretty much captures the candidate's overall behavior. Wherever it appears, the 40-inch tall troll is a popular subject for photos and selfies. [Yesterday], it appeared at Castro, Market and 17th.

Here's a background video on the latest Trump-inspired visitor to the neighborhood, which is also associated with a Kickstarter campaign from the artist.
