华盛顿国家广场现讽刺特朗普「骨刺」免役的金色雕像《步兵》：白宫发言人斥创作者患「特朗普精神错乱综合征」
一尊喷涂成金色的讽刺雕像11月9日出现在美国首都华盛顿的国家广场、国家美术馆雕塑园附近，位置在 Madison Drive 西北段第7街与第9街之间。雕像名为《步兵》（The Foot Soldier），画面是总统特朗普脱下一只鞋、坐着查看自己的右脚，影射他越战时期以脚后跟「骨刺」诊断获得征兵延期一事。作品出现在退伍军人节（11月11日）前两天。
雕像出自匿名艺术团体「秘密握手」（The Secret Handshake），该团体此前已在华盛顿立起十多件针对特朗普及其政府的讽刺装置。雕像底座的铭牌以反讽口吻称特朗普是「一位精神上的士兵，带着一份完美的骨刺诊断书，走上了逃避征兵的前线」；现场还有一个约6英尺高、名为「Toey」的脚趾形吉祥物。团体称，雕像将展出至退伍军人节。
特朗普在越战期间共获得五次征兵延期，其中四次因学业、一次因骨刺的医疗诊断。这一诊断几十年来一直是围绕他的争议话题之一。
白宫发言人 Davis Ingle 在回应询问时表示：「『特朗普精神错乱综合征』是一种病入膏肓、无药可治的疾病，已经腐蚀了这些民主党活动人士的大脑。特朗普总统为美国人民而战、保护美国人民，绝不会动摇。」该团体则回应称，很「荣幸」被白宫诊断出这种综合征，但这并不能让他们像当年逃避征兵那样逃避特朗普新近发动的战争。
Gold 'Foot Soldier' Statue Mocking Trump's Bone-Spur Deferment Appears on the National Mall; White House Hits Back
A gold-painted satirical statue appeared on November 9 on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., near the National Gallery of Art's Sculpture Garden, on Madison Drive NW between 7th and 9th Streets. Titled 'The Foot Soldier,' it depicts President Donald Trump seated with one shoe off, examining his right foot — a reference to the bone-spur diagnosis in his heels that earned him a draft deferment during the Vietnam War. It went up two days before Veterans Day, November 11.
The work is by The Secret Handshake, an anonymous art collective that has installed more than a dozen satirical pieces targeting Trump and his administration around Washington. A plaque on the base says, in mock tribute, that Trump is 'a soldier in spirit, who marched to the front lines of dodging the draft, armed with a perfect diagnosis of bone spurs.' A six-foot toe-shaped mascot named 'Toey' stood alongside. The group said the statue would remain through Veterans Day.
Trump received five draft deferments during the Vietnam War: four for his education and one on medical grounds, the bone-spur diagnosis. That diagnosis has followed him for decades.
White House spokesperson Davis Ingle responded: 'Trump Derangement Syndrome is a sick and incurable disease that has rotted the brains of these Democrat activists. President Trump will never waver in fighting for and protecting the American people.' The collective replied that it was honoured by the diagnosis, but that it would not qualify them to skip out on the latest war Trump has created, the way his bone-spur prescription once did for him.
