A giant statue of a naked Donald Trump was spotted in the Juniata section of Philadelphia.

SkyForce10 flew over the massive marionette along 3700 Kensington Avenue on Thursday, Oct. 31.

The statue – which stands 43-feet-tall, weighs around 6,000 pounds and is made up of foam and rebar -- is part of the “Crooked and Obscene” Tour, described by a spokesperson as "an independent art project dedicated to fostering public discourse through provocative installations."

“By merging bold visuals with political commentary, the tour encourages critical thinking and engagement with contemporary issues affecting society today," the spokesperson wrote.

The statue’s tour included previous stops in Las Vegas, Nevada, Phoenix, Arizona, Madison, Wisconsin, and Detroit, Michigan.

Philadelphia GOP Chair Vince Fenerty told the Philadelphia Inquirer that he filed an obscenity report after hearing about the statue on police scanners.

Police confirmed with NBC10 that the space was rented for 24 hours by the statue's creators but they asked for it to be disassembled due to its graphic nature. The statue was eventually taken down by the property owners on Kensington Avenue.
