City Parks Department workers removed a naked statue of Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump from Union Square around 1:20 p.m. It had entertained crowds for hours before that.
Dozens of New Yorkers stopped to gawk and pose with the full-frontal sculpture, which had been plastered with stickers reading “#DONALD JK TRUMP” and “MADMAN,” but they were interrupted by workers who carted the statue away.
Onlookers booed as two Parks Department workers pushed the naked sculpture from its base, breaking it at The Donald’s shins.
An engraved plaque at the bottom read “The Emperor Has No Balls,” with the base bearing the signature “Ginger.”
“Take his nasty feet, too!” one woman yelled as the men carted the statue away to a nearby truck.
Crowds followed the figure as city employees placed it face down in the flatbed — but not before one passerby slapped the statue’s butt.

A group called “INDECLINE,” which appears to be a clothing and accessories retailer based in California, posted a video to YouTube Thursday of multiple naked Trump statues being created in a studio.
