As part of a nationwide artistic effort to disarm a public figure seen by many as dangerous, anarchist group INDECLINE installed in the Castro's Jane Warner Plaza a life-size, nude effigy of presidential hopeful Donald Trump.

The installation, bloated and lifeless with varicose veins, wrinkled lip, and a sneer of cold command, led to a flurry of action in the area. Fingers were pointed, selfies were taken, and one visibly unwell woman attempted to eat the statue, taking a chunk out of its hair. At one point, a man with a phallic snack from a nearby purveyor posed with the Donald, to great effect.

Also, Supervisor Scott Wiener, out in the neighborhood campaigning for State Senate, shot some video of the statue.

The New York statue, installed in Union Square, has already been removed by city workers. Meanwhile, identical statues remain up, as far as we know, in Los Angeles, Seattle, and Cleveland. And one imagines that DPW workers here in SF will be cool with leaving this thing in place for a little while. (They'd better!!)
