Ohio artist Alan Cottrill is making history with a two-story bronze statue of President Donald Trump, capturing the iconic moment when Trump, unfazed by an assassin’s bullet, raised his fist and shouted “Fight!” The statue, commissioned by crypto investors and supporters of Trump’s pro-crypto policies, is slated for unveiling at his January inauguration.
The piece memorializes the terrifying yet triumphant scene from July 13, 2024, in Butler, Pennsylvania, where an unhinged leftist attempted to assassinate Trump. The would-be assassin, Thomas Matthew Crooks, managed to graze Trump’s ear in the attack, injuring two rallygoers and tragically killing Buffalo Township’s former fire chief, Corey Comperatore, who heroically shielded his family. Amid the chaos, Trump, bloodied but unbowed, raised his fist and roared to his supporters, “Fight! Fight! Fight!”
Alan Cottrill, renowned for his work on the Thomas Edison statue in the U.S. Capitol, said this project is the largest of his career. “I’ve sculpted and cast 400 life-size or larger bronze statues across America, and the Patriot Statue is our largest single figure to date,” Cottrill shared with Breitbart News.
The statue’s backers include the crypto community, inspired by Trump’s steadfast support for cryptocurrency and his resilience in the face of adversity. Cottrill is determined to immortalize the raw courage Trump displayed that day, calling it a symbol of defiance and strength.
Exclusive photos of the work-in-progress show the statue taking shape, with Trump’s raised fist and fiery expression embodying the spirit that has propelled him to a second term.

This statue is more than just a tribute—it’s a declaration. It stands as a towering reminder of Trump’s grit and refusal to back down, no matter the odds. While Democrats busy themselves tearing down statues and rewriting history, Trump’s supporters are building monuments to courage and patriotism.
The left hates moments like this because they remind Americans why they voted for Trump. It’s not just about policies; it’s about a leader who fights for what he believes in—and inspires others to do the same.
