The statue that greets visitors at Donald Trump's Georgia headquarters just got an upgrade.

A bronze bust of a stern-looking Donald that has welcomed volunteers since the office opened in January was replaced on Sunday by a grander bust after the Republican frontrunner's rally Sunday in downtown Atlanta.

Brandon Phillips, Trump's Georgia director, said the bust was donated by a sculptor and Trump fan from Flowery Branch named Keith Allen Johnson.

The sculptor 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.

We are told that Trump "LOVED IT."

"It was a nice ending to a great rally," said Phillips.
