Erected from clay, and standing at over 6-feet tall, this Donald Trump statue called the "Emperor Has No Balls" has the Republican presidential nominee wearing nothing but a ring and a scowl.
Veiny and naked, it has drawn in many on lookers, taking selfies. Filipinos from the neighborhood are also going nuts over the statue.
"It's all over the US, we saw that it's here so we might as well check it out. It's cool," said Dante David.
The piece is created by an artistic collective known as "INDECLINE." Working with haunted house designer known as Ginger, they showed a behind the scenes look of the making of the naked statues on their website.
"INDECLINE," whose recent installations include covering the Hollywood walk of fame with the names of police brutality victims, told the Washington Post that Trump is a "larger-than-life figure in world culture at the moment," and historically, "figures were memorialized and idolized in their time - with statues."
As for the title and the lack of testicles, they explained to the Huffington Post that they "refuse to acknowledge that he is a man."
The statues also popped up in New York, San Francisco, Seattle, and Cleveland.
Ultimately, it's been hanging loose all over the Internet.

Other versions of the statue had been removed with some parks calling the placement of the unauthorized art illegal.
It's not known for how much longer the statue will stand. It was barring all on the sidewalk until it was positioned by the door of a Los Feliz store.
