Trump and His Magic Wand is a series of sculptures resembling Donald Trump that were created by the American artist and Trump supporter Tommy Zegan and his business partner Jose Mauricio Mendoza.[1]
They were partially modeled after Trump Hawaiian bobble-heads.[2][3]
Name
The naming of the statues in the 'Trump and His Magic Wand' series is a reference to President Barack Obama's televised speech of June 1, 2016. Referring to the then-presumptive GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump's plan to bring jobs back to America, Obama asked Trump the rhetorical question "What magic wand do you have?".[4]
In media
On October 8, 2020, the Trump fiberglass statue was featured in rappers Forgiato Blow and Bryson Gray's music video that was filmed in Miami, Florida and dedicated exclusively to Trump.
On March 3, 2021, both Univision[5] and CNN[6] ran a special segment on the origin of the Trump statues.[7]
