The "latest controversy" in the Oval Office is a statue that has been "spotted" there, according to a new report.

Donald Trump's rally where a wannabe assassin grazed Trump's ear with a bullet became a flashpoint of the election, and now it's creating drama in the White House, the Daily Beast reported.

Emell Derra Adolphus, a news reporter for the outlet, said over the weekend that a "statuette of the attempted assassination of President Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, has been spotted in the Oval Office."

And guess what the artist Stan Watts is going to make a 9 foot version in bronze...............now let me guess its going to be planted at Mar A Lago.............nope................ Bedminster...............nope...........how about right along inside the fence line at the white house............or better yet Layfette Square..........anyone want to hazard a guess...............I think fence line.............and my question is the taxpayer paying for this thing.............

1. Hope it shows his miraculous healing

Not even a scab where his flesh was torn away.

8. Pure theater.

4. As much as I despise the MFer, gotta admit jumping up fist pumping was pure showmanship

for rubes who like that crud. Probably influenced voters.

7. He is good at choreographing, like his reality show

10. It was a stunt. The SS guy by his side is now head of the agency.

I think it was a miscue that the other man was killed. And isn't it odd that his survivors didn't file suits and there was no media followup with them? I would guess they've been paid off handsomely.

11. The individual killed...

and those injured may have not necessarily been accidental as it made their theatrical production of this event much more authentic and real. Nothing like some collateral damage to bolster the facade of legitimacy.

5. A statue that memorializes his grievous victimhood because that all he has achieved

6. If anyone wants to see, there's a photo of it at Getty Images

It's about as mediocre as that painting he's got of him fist-pumping. I'm honestly surprised the whole thing isn't dipped in gold.

9. I took a look at it. I'm just glad I have an iron stomach.
