RAPID CITY, S.D. (KOTA) – The City of Presidents welcomed the newest bronze statue of President Donald J. Trump.
The City of Presidents project began in 2000 to line the downtown Rapid City streets with each president to ever sit in office.
In the privately funded nonpartisan art projects 25th year, the statue being unveiled is the current sitting president.
“Now most statues are history. This one feels more like current events,” said South Dakota Rep. Dusty Johnson who gave a speech and sent a video message to the president before the statue was unveiled.
In addition to Johnson, Richard Perdue, son of the founder of the City of Presidents project, Rapid City Mayor Jason Salamun; and the artist behind the statue, Jim Maher, spoke to the audience.
This isn’t Maher’s first time adding to the trail of history as he has contributed 12 other presidents including Ronald Reagan, Herbert Hoover and George W. Bush.
Naturally, there is no statue of Biden yet, of course.
When it comes to President Joe Biden, his statue has not been started, as the art process typically doesn’t begin until the president has been out of office for two years.
Their local congressman was on hand for the buttkissing, of course.
