BROOKLYN, NEW YORK -- Angry at the president? Feel free to relieve yourself.

Five small statues of Donald Trump that invite passersby to make water on it have been planted across Park Slope, according to creator Phil Gable. "Pee on me," the yellow sign reads. "Courtesy of Porcupine Armadillo."

Artist Phil Gable, who also serves as creative director for the brand content company, told Patch the idea for the statues came after Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh's nomination was confirmed in the senate. "It's nice to have frustration turned into levity," Gable said. "And dogs like to pee on stuff high up, like a status symbol, so it gives them an appropriate place to pee."

To encourage the three-legged salute, Gable sprayed the statue with a dog potty training aid on the five statuettes planted across Park Slope.

While many of Gable's Park Slope neighbors have responded with compliments and thanks, not everyone was pleased with the art's political statement. One such statue planted in front of the Marquis De Lafayette monument on Prospect Park West and Ninth Street Monday night had been dumped into the trash by Tuesday afternoon.

And another Park Slope resident told Gable it was distasteful and disrespectful to encourage children to laugh at the nation's highest political office.



"I think it's a good lesson for kids," Gable responded. "And how do you take Donald Trump's side on the point of tastefulness?"



Gothamist first reported on the first statue's appearance on Union and Seventh streets on Friday, and noted the president appeared younger than he does in modern day. Gable explained, "I think that's probably how he sees himself in high end hotels with Russian call girls."
