Trump’s Third Term ‘Campaign’ Begins in Chelsea NYC: Cyborgs, Amazing Glutes, and the Dawn of American Dystopia

Daniel Edwards's 'Project 29' Anchors Opposing Visions: The Trump Era in Art

NEW YORK, N.Y., May 20, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — This spring, New York’s Chelsea Gallery District becomes the launch pad for a dystopian spectacle masquerading as a campaign rollout. “Opposing Visions: The Trump Era in Art” unveils its provocative centerpiece: “Project 29,” a monumental sculpture by Daniel Edwards that dares to imagine a third term for Donald Trump – not through ballots, but through biotech, belief, and brute spectacle.

Edwards’s grotesque yet mesmerizing creation features Trump’s severed head, preserved in a translucent life-support bubble, affixed to the chest of a dual-headed cyborg hybrid of Elon Musk and RFK Jr. This hulking figure—part flesh, part machine—embodies the bizarre fusion of authoritarian allure, tech worship, and a presidency that refuses to fade.

“Project 29” draws on Musk’s real-world ventures—Neuralink, SpaceX, and the Optimus robot—to envision a Trump presidency not sanctioned by the Constitution, but sustained by fringe science, techno-utopian delusion, and public belief in its promise. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. assumes the role of Secretary of Health and Human Services, portrayed as uniquely “qualified” to oversee the preservation and vitality of the artificially sustained presidential head.

“The work explores what happens when a presidency pushes beyond legal, ethical, and rational limits by any means necessary—and how a willing public embraces even the most extreme measures to keep their leader in power,” explains Edwards.

The biomechanical figure is clad in a sculpted harness and high-tech thong styled after the Tesla logo, with its gleaming posterior boldly displayed.

“I sculpted the gluteal forms with the same reverence one might bring to the Lincoln Memorial,” Edwards says. “Regrettably, I may have given the monster just enough majesty to win a primary.” Among younger audiences, the figure’s physique might simply be described as having a “gyatt.”

“Project 29” serves as a stark emblem of the present—a testament to the unsettling reality that the dystopia once feared has begun to unfold. In its outstretched hand, the Musk/RFK Jr. hybrid grips an American flag reimagined as a spear—no longer a symbol of unity, but a relic of a fractured nation. Referencing the flag-wielding intruders of January 6, 2021, the pose evokes a dystopian nationalism turned inward, where sacred symbols are no longer upheld but brandished, hollowed, and weaponized.

At the figure’s feet stands a ‘resurrected’ Peanut the squirrel, referencing a 2024 incident in which New York officials euthanized a squirrel suspected of rabies. MAGA outrage of government overreach—and a viral post from Musk—transformed the animal into an unlikely folk hero. For Post-Internet artist XVALA, also featured in the exhibition, Peanut became “part monument, part meme, part relic.”

XVALA’s contribution – a gold-plated bronze MAGA hat designed for ceremonial display atop the Resolute Desk – offers a reverent counterpoint. “It’s not a joke,” he insists. “It’s the most culturally significant headwear of the 21st century. It deserves preservation, not parody.” Where Edwards skewers Trump’s afterlife with dystopian satire, XVALA treats the MAGA movement as revolutionary heritage. For him, this exhibition is not parody—it is prophecy.

“Project 29” marks, in XVALA’s view, the true launch of Trump’s third-term campaign. Edwards, by contrast, relishes the opportunity to ridicule that very notion in sculptural form. The tension between the two animates the exhibit’s volatile core.

Providing a grounding presence is artist Jarva Land, whose pen-and-ink courtroom sketches—drawn during Trump’s ongoing legal battles—capture the raw theater of justice. “I draw to see, not to judge,” Land says. Her work, restrained yet piercing, offers an unfiltered view of a nation on trial.

“Opposing Visions” is a kaleidoscope of ideological extremes – from far-left critique to far-right veneration – united by a refusal to offer easy answers.

We invite you to experience “Opposing Visions: The Trump Era in Art” at the Iconoclast Room, located in the West Chelsea Building at 526 W 26th Street, Room 511, New York, NY.

The exhibition runs from May 26–31, 2025, with special events throughout the week, including a sneak preview on Tuesday, a press opportunity on Wednesday morning, and an Artists’ Reception on Friday evening from 5 to 8 p.m. Join us to explore this provocative and timely body of work in the heart of Chelsea’s gallery district.

New Book ‘Total Sh*t Donald Trump’ Skewers the President

WASHINGTON, D.C. /ScoopCloud/ -- Author Paul Orwell's new book "Total Sh*t Donald Trump" (ISBN: 978-1733807302; ppb; Oceania Press) released today on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Apple and many other platforms, makes the case that the president is, in a sense, "the physical embodiment of our nation's collective excrement" and that "we citizens have a duty to flush it, not just shovel it."

While Orwell acknowledges that Trump is consistently inconsistent unlike any other President before him, he asserts that Trump is a conscious, committed and unapologetic turd.

The book contains numerous pithy author insights, including:

* Hundreds of phrases of Trumpspeak in a "sh*ttery" at the back of the book. "Trumpspeak" is POTUS 45's version of Newspeak from namesake George Orwell's book "1984."

* Reasons why many Americans think the President's sh*t doesn't stink. Not a matter of olfactory glands but a matter of mental avoidance, delusion and the collective suspension of disbelief.

* Advice to all Americans as to how to help evacuate Trump from the American body. A simple step remedy is described, which would make a timely and effective laxative for the U.S.A.

* (and much more, uncensored!)

"The general public is not as comfortable as Don is in the land of lying, litigation, exaggeration and misinformation, which gave Trump great advantage through the election," says author Paul Orwell. "But in November 2020 the electorate will have a chance to get toilet plungers out and give politicians their quadrennial cleaning at the ballot box."

Land of the Free:
"Total Sh*t Donald Trump" is published by Oceania Press today as a free eBook at https://pr.bookfunnel.com/gqcknk.

Available in Print:
The book is available for purchase for $5.95 in paperback from major booksellers; and available in Kindle and print at Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07QMSX3WD. It contains 82 pages.

About the Author:
Paul Orwell is the author of "Total Sh*t: Donald Trump," a satirical essay about our president that uses "sh*t" as a metaphor to describe Trump, and the book "SAD! Donald 'Biff' Trump Is President," which catalogs the striking similarities between Donald Trump and the bully Biff Tannen from "Back to the Future II."

Orwell is a businessman and writer living in Washington, D.C. who believes that Dirty Don is soiling America and that regular Republicans and Democrats have much more in common than Big Media wants them to believe. He fervently hopes that once the "Trumpster fire" has been extinguished, America can heal again.

Trump’s wrong attack on Opioid Epidemic

CORTE MADERA, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Dr. Don Harte, chiropractic activist, says Trump's new panel, headed by Chris Christie, to deal with the opioid epidemic, is "philosophically and scientifically dead wrong."

Dr. Harte declares, "The reason for this epidemic is clear. Orthopedists and other doctors freely prescribe Oxycontin, Fentanyl, Soma and other opioid drugs, get their patients addicted, then cut them off. These patients end up seeking heroin on the street. It all begins in the doctor's office. It ends in pain, life disruption and, often, death."

"It begins with sciatica, arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, or some sports injury," Dr. Harte says. "Modern orthopedic medicine can do nothing to fix these things. This opioid epidemic is emblematic of the failure of Medicine."

Dr. Harte continues, "While they can't get you better, orthopedists can and do make conditions, and pain, worse, in two ways. Cortisone shots damage already-damaged (by anti-inflammatories) joint surfaces. Spinal surgery has such a bad record that they have a name for their failures... 'Failed back surgery syndrome.' And when joint replacements aren't right, it's disastrous!" He charges, "This is irresponsible science; it is irresponsible doctoring."

"There is no hope," says Dr. Harte, "in pain management. It fixes nothing, while causing constipation and sleep problems, lung and heart damage, as well as addiction. To empower the government to provide more and better rehab for opioid addicts, created by medical care, is not the answer! Such a safety net will likely lead to a bigger epidemic."

Dr. Harte's answer to this crisis? "The only answer to the current life-destroying opioid epidemic is to point the finger at orthopedic medicine, and lead the way to safe and effective chiropractic care, on a widespread basis. It is high time that people reject what does not work, and seek what does." He concludes, "Chiropractic works. It corrects cause, with zero risk for addiction."

Dr. Don Harte, former medical student, is a traditional chiropractor, serving Marin and the Greater Bay Area since 1981. He is an activist in the struggle for free speech for chiropractors. Dr. Harte was named 2006 "Chiropractor of the Year" by the World Chiropractic Alliance (WCA). He has served on the Boards of the WCA and the Council on Chiropractic Practice. His articles have been published in OMNI magazine, San Francisco Chronicle, Chiropractic Journal and Journal of the California Chiropractic Association.
