Bronze bust of Donald Trump sits in his Georgia campaign HQ

Donald Trump's Georgia headquarters sits in an office building across the street from the fast-rising Atlanta Braves stadium in Cobb County.

On a Wednesday visit ahead of the office's "grand opening" ceremony Saturday, the place was humming with volunteer activity, but the first thing you see when you walk in the door is a bronze bust of a stern-looking Donald, shown at right.

Brandon Phillips, Trump's Georgia director, told us the bust did not come from headquarters, but was donated by a sculptor and Trump fan from Flowery Branch named Keith Allen Johnson.

According to Johnson's website, he has done a series of life-sized presidential sculptures of Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, George W. Bush, John F. Kennedy, Harry S. Truman and Franklin D. Roosevelt.

Now Johnson is working on a life-sized Trump. It will be yuge.
