?width=725GOWANUS, BROOKLYN There's a new troll living under the Carroll Street Bridge and by the looks of it, the Gowanus Canal's black mayonnaise sludge already has gotten into his system.
A green-eyed sculpture of President Donald Trump floating on a snake-infested life raft has appeared in the Gowanus Canal, leaving the president bobbing in the toxic waterway as passersby snap pictures of their inflatable commander in chief.
The presidential statue was anchored under the Carroll Street Bridge by a mystery artist sometime over the weekend likely not by coincidence the same weekend of the neighborhood's popular arts event, Gowanus Open Studios.
It was first spotted Sunday morning by a reader of local blog Pardon Me For Asking, who knew the president hadn't been in the polluted waters long given the canal's "goo" was just starting to collect around the snakes at its base.
The 1.8-mile canal, designated as a hazardous Superfund site, is undergoing a federal cleanup to remove the tons of sewage sludge that have seeped into its waters.

it looks to be made from an "inflateadate" doll! With some features altered for the occasion! Look at the head position and open, red-lipped mouth and bulging chest shoved into the shirt with maybe some padding to make it not look like female breasts.
If you look closely.
