It seems amazing that the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump was less than a month ago. While that event shook the American political landscape and is still echoes today, a local Butler, Pennsylvania, artist has taken it upon himself to commemorate the moment - and I have to say, he nailed it.
Local artist Bill Secunda not only describes Donald Trump as "tough as nails" after the former president shook off an assassination attempt here, he created a life-size sculpture to hammer the idiom home.
Secunda was so inspired by Trump's actions, in which he raised his fist defiantly and exhorted rallygoers to "Fight, fight, fight" moments after being grazed by an assassin's bullet, that he built a unique likeness of the former president out of nails. Secunda unveiled the statue at the Butler Farm Show on Saturday, the same venue where the deadly shooting took place on July 13.
"I tried to give him the expression of 'Let's fight,' but let's do it nonviolent[ly]. Let’s do it right," Secunda told Fox News Digital at his garage studio.

It's an interesting presentation. The statue was constructed, it seems, in 2020, and originally depicted the former president ripping open his suit coat and shirt, Superman-style, to reveal a gold "T" beneath, but after the assassination attempt, Secunda reworked it to its current form to commemorate the event.
