The Independent reports:
Bloomberg reporter William Turton captured the video — featuring a squat statue of a golden Trump garbed in a business suit and Rocky Balboa’s boxing shorts and red flip-flops, brandishing what appears to be a magic wand and a non-disclosure agreement, being wheeled through the event as attendees can be seen taking snapshots and cooing things like “Awesome!” and “That’s so cool!” and “Four more years.” — and posted it on Thursday night as part of a thread on CPAC happenings.
Oh this is so very on brand for cpac

As many people have noted in the replies, it appears the conservative “Christians” of the Trumpian right have gone all-in on worshipping their golden calf. Perhaps @marcorubio can recall the appropriate verse in his tweets… https://t.co/8WA1i1oBdw

I’m not Christian but I am aware of the story of the Golden Calf. Yet Republicans… aren’t? It’s beyond parody but also terrifying. https://t.co/TUrhnUEgIm pic.twitter.com/kbcpyZLtLL
