President Trump has added a powerful new art piece to the Oval Office — a statue depicting the aftermath of the July 2024 assassination attempt against him in Butler, Pa. 

The sculpture was spotted sitting on a side table next to Trump’s Resolute Desk on Friday as the president signed several executive orders in front of reporters. 

The statue depicts Trump defiantly raising his fist in the air moments after being hit in the ear by one of would-be assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks’ bullets on July 13.

“Fight Fight! Fight!” Trump shouted at rallygoers at the Butler Farm Show Grounds, in the iconic moment captured by the artist. 

Three Secret Service agents, including the current director of the agency Sean Curran, can also be seen in the art piece trying to usher Trump offstage. 

The American flag, hanging vertically as it was in Butler, is also visible behind Trump in the sculpture. 

The White House could not immediately provide The Post with details about the new statue. 

However, it appears to be the work of Stan Watts, who plans to create a 9-foot tall bronze statue capturing the moment, according to the Trump Statute Project website. 

“It symbolizes the divine intervention as well as the man and his message of unity and resilience for which America stands,” the Trump Statue Project, which is currently raising money to build the piece, said of the artwork.

The Oval Office statue isn’t the only piece of art related to the Butler assassination attempt on display at the White House. 

Last month, a new painting — an artistic interpretation of one of the iconic images captured by New York Times photographer Doug Mills in Butler — was revealed to be hanging in a prominent spot in the Grand Foyer of the East Wing of the White House.

The artwork, painted by Marc Lipp, also depicts Trump with blood splattered across his face and the American flag in the background, raising his fist after the shooting. 

The president has added his personal touch all over the West Wing since taking office in January. 

Trump has added ornate, gold flourishes to the furniture, fireplace and walls of the Oval Office, reminiscent of the decor at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Fla. 

He has also lined the West Wing with the front pages of The Post that chronicle his stunning political comeback — including the infamous issue showing Trump’s Georgia mug shot, which hangs on a wall just outside the Oval Office.
