New York (eTruePolitics) – “Steve deserves it,” said Donald Trump in revealing plans for a statue in New York Harbor honoring his beleaguered long time advisor who recently completed a four month sentence at Danbury Federal prison for contempt of Congress. In a written statement the president-elect said he hoped the Bannon statue would cheer up its namesake who is said to be depressed since he has not been given a job in the new administration.
When Trump heard “Stevie was a little down,” the president-elect came up with a plan. Bannon has long detested Frederic Auguste Bartholdi’s Statue of Liberty sculpture, an 1886 gift from France, which was originally called ‘Liberty Enlightening the World,’ a description Bannon characterizes “as nauseating as it gets.”
“Mr. Bannon really, really hates the French,” said a Trump aide who praised the president’s unique empathy for the Bannon statue idea. “When it comes to who and how to hate, President Trump is the best.”
The original Bannon statue announcement had to be recalled after Trump added the wording “Its going to be the biggest statue ever.”
“It’s only 350′ high,” sighed an aide, “I had to tell him it was a pretty small statue. Worst day of my life.”
