Tear down Trump

What beautiful statues is President Donald Trump talking about? Michelangelo's David? Rodin's The Thinker? I've lived in Kentucky all my life and the only beautiful statues I've seen are those of horses. In regard to offensive statues of Confederate soldiers on horses, maybe we could remove the men and keep their horses. Or better still, leave the statues for a saner time and remove the president (from office).
