    I could legitimately see this happening, by now. Fox News builds it up for a week, then Trump/Musk make a big spectacle of sending it back and replacing it with a giant statue of Trump.

      Depends on what you think it represents.

      It’s traditionally a symbol of opportunity, or new start style liberty.

      America has, for a long time, been a place of hope or opportunity for immigrants. Not necessarily welcome, kindness, or prosperity, but hope.

      With the visibly growing xenophobia this has tragically waned, but even still we have some of the highest immigration rates in the world.
