They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder and that one man’s trash is another man’s treasure. These two adages come to mind when I consider those naked Donald Trump statues popping up in various U.S. cities.

The naked Trump effigies that lasted barely an hour before being removed, are the work of Indecline, a self-described “anarchist art collective.”

They weren’t meant to be permanent. They just wanted the nude Trump images to go viral. Mission accomplished.

I champion free speech and enjoy political satire but I don’t get these nude Trump statues. What’s the connection between the Republican nominee and nudity? Nothing.

Like NOW’s phoney Rob Ford nudes, they’re mean-spirited and reveal the immaturity and hypocrisy of the left who correctly say we shouldn’t judge on physical appearance or based on race, skin colour, religion or nationality yet it’s okay to mock a pudgy white guy because he’s a pudgy white guy.

Would enlightened progressives mock a Muslim political candidate, a disabled candidate or make fun of the skin colour of a visible minority candidate? No chance.

The left hold a double-standard for political figures on the right. SJW’s can talk the talk but as for practicing what they preach, they’re like a certain emperor who has no clothes.
