NewNebuchadnezzar's statue
I was thinking more along the lines of Nebuchadnezzar's statue from Daniel 3. We could agree, I guess, that it's not an idol per se, since there hasn't been a command to bow down and worship when one hears the music of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, and the like (Daniel 3:5), but at the same time, I think we can all agree that it's extraordinarily tacky, right up there with naming the Doral Country Club after himself.
Really, The Donald needs to remember Proverbs 27:2. If you do something commendable, others will get around to praising you soon enough. And if they're not, up your game and do something commendable.
Oops: looks like the newspaper of record is noting that people are supposed to bow down to the statue when they hear Lee Greenwood's "God Bless the USA". My mistake!
