A HUGE gold statue of Donald Trump holding a star wand delighted the CPAC crowds [View all]
A HUGE gold statue of Donald Trump holding a star wand delighted the CPAC crowds ahead of the former president's comeback speech.
The gold statue is seen wearing a pair of Stars and Stripes shorts, with a suit jacket, white shirt and a tie.
The Trump effigy is also holding what appears to be a magic wand.
Footage shows supporters taking selfies with the statue and watching in awe as it is rolled through the building.

"Two years ago, when I saw all those statues of naked Trump and Trump on a toilet, I said, 'You know what? I can do better,' " Zegan told CNN Friday as attendees gathered around the statue to snap photos with it.
Zegan said the piece on display at CPAC is actually the fiberglass mold of the real, stainless steel sculpture currently stored in a warehouse in Tampa where it awaits a potentially high-profile showcase.
"It is museum-quality, and that's the one I'm eventually hoping to get in the Trump library," Zegan said. "It is literally priceless."
