Saturday in West Palm Beach, President Trump was presented with a life-size bronze statue of himself posing with his fist in the air in defiance – just moments after an assassin's bullet nearly took his life in Butler, Pennsylvania, last year.

Former congressional candidate Anthony Constantino, the CEO of Sticker Mule, gifted the president the monument, which will be a permanent fixture at his Trump International Golf Club.

Dubbed "The Defiance Monument," the 7-foot-tall statue sits atop a stone pedestal with Constantino's name engraved on it.

"The president was in a happy, joking mood, which was great to see," said Constantino, according to a statement.

Trump and Constantino met at the monument before the president went out to play a round of golf. According to the statement, they were joined by Roger Stone, who's become an adviser and friend to Constantino, as well as Bo Loudon, a friend of Barron Trump.
