He is not wrong.
I could legitimately see this happening, by now. Fox News builds it up for a week, then Trump/Musk make a big spectacle of sending it back and replacing it with a giant statue of Trump.
Don’t bring that thought into reality.
You can picture it, can’t you. The entire thing covered in shitty gold spray paint. My God, it’s becoming so clear now…
Edit: Fun fact, Grok wouldn’t create the same image featuring Kamala Harris.
has the us ever truly stood for the values the statue is said to represent?
Depends on what you think it represents.
It’s traditionally a symbol of opportunity, or new start style liberty.
America has, for a long time, been a place of hope or opportunity for immigrants. Not necessarily welcome, kindness, or prosperity, but hope.
With the visibly growing xenophobia this has tragically waned, but even still we have some of the highest immigration rates in the world.
