Lady Liberty’s visa has expired
A french ship painted in spanish colors! ¡Olé!
The Statue 🗽 of Liberty, fearing deportation by Trump, decides to self-deport back to France where she originally belonged.
Friendly reminder that Trump’s parents would have been deported based on his own plans.
The average American wouldn’t even know that George Washington was originally British
* **Specific:** Disassemble the Statue of Liberty into 500 pieces, ship it to Le Havre, transport it to Paris, and reassemble it on Île aux Cygnes.
* **Measurable:** The successful relocation will be measured by the complete reassembly of the Statue of Liberty on Île aux Cygnes.
* **Achievable:** The relocation is potentially achievable given sufficient funding, engineering expertise, and regulatory approvals, but faces significant technical and logistical challenges.
* **Relevant:** The goal is relevant as a large-scale engineering and cultural project, though its value is highly subjective and potentially controversial.
* **Time-bound:** The project is estimated to take 10 years.
I’m sure Trump would sell it for the right price.
Trump may replace the statue with a gold copy of himself, as the so-called savior of Gaza. With the so-called Nobel Peace Prize in his arms.
It’s not gold. Trump might not want it.
yeah, that present has expired, we need it back
I doubt MAGA would mind this arrangement, they’ll just use the podium Liberty used to stand on to erect a giant golden idol to Dear Leader (most likely depicted flipping the bird to anyone passing by).
No need to explain the image with text, its for a European audience.
I’m not the only who read this in a French accent, right?
Ironically they did send multiple war ships to New York and asked for their gold back – back when Breton-woods system ended.

Please don’t give the orange stain ideas. Next up, replacing Lady Liberty with a Colossus of Trump 😱
No, we should leave it there and we should do our best to reminds its meaning to the Trumpo-muskians, for them to remember what actually made their country great in the past. Some Americans still share the values that she represents and seeing her everyday will also reminds them that they have something to fight for, for their country to regain its honor.
“BuT WItHOut AmeRIcA FRanCe WOuLD bE spEAkINg GeRMAn!” – dumbfuck blonde mouthpiece. I say this as an American. France has been America’s greatest ally and it’s shameful how my country is being represented by our current president.
Any day now Trump is gonna figure out it’s from France and demand she be deported.
I could agree that they are not using it anymore, but let’s not be so petty. Once you give something to someone, you don’t take it back. Not to mention that there must still be a lot of people in America who deserve to have it and also deserve our support.
Trump with Musk will erect a monument to Lenin instead of the Statue of Liberty
where did thiss ship come from? hello, what did Spain do?
The Americans could put Barbie Leavitt in place of the Statue of Liberty.
Lmao good move
meh NYC doesn’t really count anyway knock yourselves out.
If anyone knows history, then you know the statue was a half assed gift. It was originally designed for a competition to be placed at the entrance of the Suez Canal. We were just the consolation prize after it didn’t get picked.
How does the US not use it? They allow more legal immigration than any other country on the planet
So deep that I didn’t understand it
come and take it pussies
Stupid juvenile middle school political hacks
They never said thank you anyway so…
She died a long time ago 1963
You’ll soon realize that “freedom” is often paid by blood and sacrifice. Y’all talk about how great health care is in your country but will soon have to make a choice between that or having a reliable army to protect yourselves when the U.S. withdraws NATO funding lmao.
😆😆😆
Good luck with that
Directly to Kyiv, Ukraine
I like that they only took the statue, because the French people paid for it, but didn’t pay for the pedestal.
Since the end of WWII administration after administration, Democrat and Republican controlled Congress, have instigated countless coups, regime change, bombing campaigns, national upheaval, and international subterfuge around the world.
One of the more recent examples of international meddling would be CIA and State Department involvement in Ukraine around 2013 and 2014 which provided a despotic Russian regime with the impetus to move on Ukraine in force. The knock on effects for Europe have been wildly negative, as cheap energy inputs have been replaced partially with more expensive LNG from…the United States.
The reality is that Europe was able to spend significantly less on their militaries than they otherwise could’ve, and European nations are losing economic competitiveness to the United States and China.
We’ll fight to the death over a copper statue but not its proper meaning. Love my country but smh
Doge, can actually send it back, with all the cuts they save from vets and the elderly
We don’t deserve her anymore
Wow…sooooo deep, thank God he included the flag and “France” to make sure we did not miss the point.

Ironic. Not in a funny way.
Shouldn’t the blue field of the flag be on the pole and not the red?
[statue of liberty at home]
): “why do you say fuck me for?”
Every first world country should enter a lottery to decide which country gets which immigrants. Whichever country receives the most immigrants, they hold the statue of immigrants for five years.
Do you think many Americans, let alone conservatives, know the inscription?
> Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!
It’s a strange world when it’s Jesus and Atheists on one side, verses Christians and corporations on the other.
So funny to see this week people using the same words I used three weeks ago as a joke too under a post in Linkedin. And now it’s all over the place. Just shows how so many people feel similar towards US today.
I’d like to see France try
