Ben & Jerry’s co founder unveils Donald Trump missile defense sculpture in Washington

Donald Trump Missile Ben Jerry
  • A satirical sculpture mocking Donald Trump’s proposed “Golden Dome” missile defence system has been installed on the National Mall in Washington D.C.
  • Created by Ben Cohen, co-founder of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream, the installation depicts Trump holding a hole-riddled golden dome, symbolising the system's potential failure.
  • The "Golden Dome" is Trump's ambitious initiative for a space-based missile defence system, which critics argue is unproven, excessively costly, and could trigger an arms race.
  • Speakers at the unveiling highlighted concerns over the system's estimated cost of trillions of dollars, suggesting funds would be better spent on social issues.
  • The White House dismissed the criticism as "Trump Derangement Syndrome," while reports indicate the "Golden Dome" project has stalled due to withheld congressional funds.
