Social media users were quoting the Ten Commandments film and the Book of Exodus in droves on Friday, after video from the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) revealed a golden idol-like statue of former U.S. president Donald Trump.

U.S. conservatives praised Donald Trump at an annual gathering on Friday, even unveiling a golden statue of the former president, showing he remains a Republican political force despite violent scenes in Washington last month.

Tommy Zegan, the artist behind the statue, said he came up with the idea three years ago as a "more tasteful" antidote to some unflattering effigies of the former president at the time, such as the "Baby Trump" balloons and the Trump "golden toilet."
