Outspoken artist Scott LoBaido unleashed the most epic stunt ever when he released 100 pink penis-shaped balloons outside the NYC courthouse where Donald Trump is being tried.
Given that the former president is up against trumped-up criminal hush money charges, just one of a series of lawfare being waged against the presumptive 2024 Republican presidential nominee, the stunt may also be the most appropriate action taken yet because the balloons featured the faces of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, Judges Juan Merchan and Arthur Engoron, and U.S. Special Counsel Jack Smith.
LoBaido explained that his brilliance was motivated by the desire to show that “these guys are a bunch of useless d–ks.”
“As a New Yorker, this is how we talk,” he told The New York Post.

The attention-grabbing Staten Island artist deserves credit for having the courage to not only stand up for what he believes in but to do so in a way that cannot be ignored.
LoBaido told the Post that those who are engaged in lawfare against Trump are out to “destroy” him and “the constitution,” motivated by “disrespect” for the GOP presidential candidate.
He reportedly chose Thursday to release the “cock and ball” balloons because it was potentially the last day of trial, the newspaper reported.
One thing is certain, the balloons were a hit… here’s a quick sampling of responses to the story, as seen on the social media platform X:
