“Don Colossus,” a 15-foot-tall golden statue of Trump, is central to a cryptocurrency scheme promoting the PATRIOT meme coin.
Investors commissioned the $300,000 statue as a tribute to Trump’s crypto support, aiming to generate online buzz and inflate the token’s value.
A pedestal was erected at Trump’s Doral golf resort.
Trump reportedly plans to attend the unveiling.
Launched in late 2024, PATRIOT saw its price surge initially, but it later crashed.
The sculptor, Alan Cottrill, claims he is owed $75,000 for intellectual property rights.
Eric Trump denies any involvement with the token.
The project has faced delays, internal conflicts, and criticism, but supporters are still marketing.
