Statue satirizing Trump's 'bone spurs' appears on National Mall

A satirical statue of US President Donald Trump's Vietnam-era draft deferments appeared on the National Mall in Washington on Monday (November 9), featuring a gold-colored Trump seated atop a granite pedestal and rubbing his foot.

Entitled "The Foot Soldier," the statue references the bone spurs diagnosis Trump received during the Vietnam War which helped him avoid military service. The monument includes a plaque mocking the deferments and a mascot named "Toey," described by organizers as a six-foot-tall bone spur character.

The statue is scheduled to remain on display near the National Gallery of Art Sculpture Garden through to Veterans Day.
