The golden statue of former president Donald Trump, which grabbed a lot of people's attention at CPAC, was made in Mexico.
Artist and American ex-pat Tommy Zegan travelled with the sculpture from Rosarito, just south of Tijuana close to the US border, to CPAC in Florida.
Politico reported that Mr Zegan crafted the statue, which weighs more than 200lbs, over six months with the help of three others. He then took it to Tampa, Florida where it was painted in chrome, and from there he drove it to CPAC in Orlando in a U-Haul truck.
He succeeded in getting into the conference without any credentials as tickets were sold out while pulling along the massive statue, which is made of fibreglass.
