A man from Media built the 16-foot-tall robot of President Donald Trump tweeting on a golden toilet that’s making the rounds in London during President Trump’s visit to the United Kingdom, writes Taylor Horn for NBC Philadelphia.

Don Lessem spent $25,000 to create his ‘Dumping Trump’ statue for Trump’s visit to the U.K.

“We wanted to make something that captures what he does all day,” Lessem said to a Reuters reporter at the protest on Tuesday.

It’s one of two protest pieces, the other being the iconic “Baby Blimp,” that have been seen in protests during the president’s visit to London.

The rolling, robot Trump shouts phrases like “no collusion” or “fake news” as it mimics tweeting on a phone.

President Trump is on a state visit to the United Kingdom. Outside the official, pomp- and politics-filled events, feminists, environmentalists, peace activists, trade unionists and others have demonstrated against the president.

Lessem’s statue greeted Londoners in Trafalgar Square while the U.S. leader met Prime Minister Theresa May nearby.

Lessem manufactures scientifically-accurate robots of dinosaurs for amusement parks including Universal Studios and Disney.

“I thought if I could make a giant dinosaur I could make a giant Trump,” Lessem told Reuters.

President Trump has said he was delighted with his reception in Britain, and said he had seen only “a small protest … very small.”
