A New York street performer dressed as the bombastic billionaire is
letting passersby punch, trample and even urinate on him — for a small
fee, of course.
Activist artist Kalan Sherrard, 28, took to Union Square Thursday
dressed in a suit and Trump mask and offered up a full menu of assaults.
A chance to punch the Trump-esque artist’s gut will cost you $5. You
can “trample” the GOP frontrunner's doppelganger for $10 and “throttle”
him for $7, although the performer’s cardboard sign did not elaborate on
how far aggressors could take those two terms.
For a whopping $300, a Trump-hater can pee on the tycoon.
And if you just want a picture with the candidate look-a-like? That’ll set you back $2.
It’s not clear how many people have taken up Sherrard on his plethora
of punishment options — or how much cash he’s collected. Sherrard did
not immediately return the Daily News’ call.
There’s no word on what the real Donald Trump thinks about the enterprising artist’s business model.
Sherrard has been arrested at least twice before for his bizarre performance artworks.
He was charged with disorderly conduct in 2014 after he set up a nihilist-anarchist puppet show
in the Times Square subway station. The artist created a “hazardous
condition” when he displayed an odd collection of mutilated marionettes
on a train platform.
Later that year, he was arrested in Miami for protesting at Art Basel while carrying a sex toy in his pocket. The artist claimed the mid-exhibit march was a demonstration against the nation's super-wealthy.
