One week before the 2024 U.S. presidential election, a statue has popped up in downtown D.C. that takes a swing at former President Donald Trump and his comments made after the 2017 "Unite The Right" rally in Charlottesville, Virginia. The roughly 8-foot-tall statue shows a bronze hand clasping a bronze lit tiki torch. It appears weathered, to suggest it's been at the southeastern corner of D.C.'s Freedom Plaza for years. The plaque on a plaster base made to look like a pillar titles it, "The Donald J. Trump Enduring Flame" and refers to comments Trump made in the aftermath of riots and protests that happened in August 2017.
