Italian Village Building Statue of Trump: 'The Only Politician Following Through On His Promises'

Donald Trump has been in office less than three weeks and already plans are being drawn up for a statue to memorialize the United States’ 45th president. But there is one catch.

The statue will be in a tiny village in central Italy.

The mayor of Vagli di Sotto, Mario Puglia, plans to put a big, beautiful marble statue of the sitting U.S. president in the village’s Park of Honor and Dishonor. He thinks it will be a tremendous way to attract tourists from around the globe to the Tuscan town of less than 1,000 people.

"I'm not going to enter into a discussion over whether his actions are right or wrong," Puglia told local Italian media. "But at the moment Trump is the only politician who is following through on his promises, doing what he said on the campaign trail."

...Work is underway on the statue, which is expected to be ready by the summer, and private donors in both Italy and America have offered around $105,000 to finance it.
