Overview
- Eric Kripke posted a side-by-side of Trump’s new gilded statue and Homelander’s and wrote “Seriously, what the f***?” on Instagram.
- At Trump National Doral in Florida, the statue dubbed Don Colossus is a 3.1‑ton bronze covered in gold leaf that stands 22 feet tall on a pedestal.
- The figure raises a fist in a pose tied to Trump’s response to the Butler, Pennsylvania, assassination attempt.
- A recent episode of The Boys features a giant gold Homelander statue as the series continues its satire of celebrity power and authoritarian imagery.
- Weeks earlier, Trump posted and then deleted an AI image casting himself in a Jesus‑like scene, which Kripke cited as another real‑world echo, while pastor Mark Burns led the Doral unveiling and rejected clergy claims of idolatry as “honor” and “patriotism.”
