Trump praised the statue on Truth Social, stating it would eventually become a ”landmark” and that golfers at Doral “are absolutely in love with it”. Pastor Mark Burns, who presided over the dedication, insisted the statue was “not a golden calf” but a “celebration of life” and a symbol of resilience and patriotism.
