'Artist' of Donald Trump Monument In Central Park Speaks Out -- But Only On Facebook

#1 "TRUMP" screamed the stone that appeared in the Park on March 27. Below, the headstone read "Donald J." and featured his birthdate.

No date of death, of course, since Donald Trump is still among the living. At the bottom was the epitaph: "Made America Hate Again."

#2 Early morning park visitors saw the stone, which quickly made the rounds on Instagram and Twitter.

Many regarded it as a morbid joke, with some laughing it off completely.

#3 But the Secret Service didn't treat the ominous artwork as a laughing matter.

Along with the local New York authorities, they began to investigate.

#4 The big break in the case came just two days later, when an anonymous interview with the artist who designed the stone appeared on Gothamist.

The article included a photo of the stone before it was engraved.

#5 Police studied the photo, and used it to locate the store where the stone monument was purchased.

#6 The owner turned over all the information on the customer who purchased the stone. He wasn't charged with any crimes.

Police caught up to the artist days later, a Brooklyn-based man named Brian Whiteley.

#7 He has not been charged with a crime, and has declined offers to comment to the media.

Whiteley, 33, did find another way to share his side of the story, however: he used Facebook.

#8 On his page, Whiteley said he doesn't regret creating the Donald Trump headstone.

"A Secret Service interrogation, NYPD at my doors. A permanent file on record. A project 6+ months in planning. Do I regret a thing? NO," he wrote. "Artists, please stand with me and make our voices heard."

#9 Whiteley calls the stone "The Legacy Stone," and told "The New York Times" that it is symbolic.

#10 The fact that there is no date of death on the stone shows that Donald Trump still has time to change.

#11 He says the stone was not meant as a threat, and apparently Secret Service believed him since he has not been charged or detained.

#12 The stone was removed from the park quickly and remains in custody at a police storage station in the Bronx.

#13 Whiteley is trying to get the stone back so he can use it in an art exhibit.

#14 The company who made the first stone has declined his request to recast the piece.
