As Election Day approaches, the Trump “Wall of Deception” in Manhattan has returned, now expanded. After being defaced with pro-Trump and white supremacist graffiti, this mural, which enumerates over 20,000 of former President Donald Trump’s false statements, was reinstalled in SoHo. The new version stretches 100 feet, doubling its original length.
Initially placed outside an independent media outlet in Bushwick, the “Wall of Deception” catalogs Trump’s misleading claims since 2016, all meticulously documented by a major news organization. Since its launch, it has attracted numerous visitors, including local politicians.
However, it wasn’t long before vandals targeted the wall, scrawling messages like “Vote Trump or die” and “Stand Back and Stand By,” the latter phrase infamously used during a presidential debate and later adopted by extremist groups. The wall lasted only a few days before being marked.
In response, the media outlet raised over $4,000 through GoFundMe to reconstruct the mural in lower Manhattan. “Although this vandalism is disheartening, we are committed to standing up for the truth,” said a spokesperson for the media outlet. “The wall may be defaced, but its message endures.”
Along with the physical installation of the “Wall of Deception,” the media outlet has created a digital version on their website, allowing users to engage with the content interactively. This online platform enables visitors to pan, scroll, and zoom to explore specific sections of the wall.
An artist involved with the project described the mural as chaotic from afar, which he believes reflects the current political environment. However, upon closer inspection, viewers can discern individual lies, organized chronologically and color-coded by topic, such as healthcare and immigration.
The media outlet had originally planned to broadcast a continuous reading of Trump’s lies leading up to the elections. Still, due to pandemic-related changes, they opted for this impactful visual display instead. “In a time filled with misinformation, we aim to spotlight these untruths in a meaningful way,” the spokesperson added.
