There are multiple films and film posters depicting the degradation or endangerment of the Statue of Liberty, including Escape from New York, G.I. Joe: The Movie, and Cloverfield.
The Statue of Liberty is a symbol of patriotism, the American Dream, and of course, immigration idealism/optimism, as it stands in Ellis Island, welcoming the peoples of the world to embrace the fortunes of capitalism and the splendor of democracy(!).
After 9/11, people were on edge about the sanctity/security of homeland targets (since NYC was devastated by the terrible loss of the World Trade Center!). Social pundits ruminated on the possibility that anti-American terrorists would now target MLB baseball stadiums, the White House, NASA, the Space Needle, etc., etc., etc.
Well, as a comic book fan-fic writer/reader on USMB and comic book message boards, I've read and written multiple adventure-tales (all after 9/11) about the sanctity of the Statue of Liberty and fantastic 'superheroes' such as Captain America and the Punisher protecting the sacred monument.
Understanding how to 'safeguard' culture-symbols such as the immigration-loaded Statue of Liberty may require geo-political governance reforms and that must mean that the commerce-minded Trump Administration must investigate key commerce-focused institutions such as the World Bank and NATO.
Signing off (God bless America!),

TRUMP: We have to ensure the world that Ellis Island is sacred/safe...
CARTER: Your controversial comments regarding curbing immigration have caused a stir!
TRUMP: Well, Americans are simply anxious about Muslim traffic in the States after 9/11.
CARTER: Perhaps our Homeland Security marketing-campaign did not reach the people.
TRUMP: Perhaps not, and I don't know if immigration 'Utopianism' is the answer now.
CARTER: Do you think the Statue of Liberty is a 'prime-target' for terrorists?
TRUMP: In the film Cloverfield, a giant Godzilla-like monster decapitates the Statue.
CARTER: Well, I doubt terrorists are drawing 'inspiration' from Hollywood, sir...
TRUMP: No, but terrorists pay close attention to the 'fineries' of the culture of their targets!
CARTER: What about this new North Korea nuclear-threat development?
TRUMP: Commerce is key, and we have to secure South Korea at least...
CARTER: I'm also worried about homegrown terrorism!
TRUMP: Of course; remember the Boston Marathon incident?
CARTER: Maybe the Pentagon should issue a formal statement about the Statue of Liberty!
TRUMP: That would be more 'professional' than just making movies and video-games.
CARTER: In the American film The Aviator, icon Howard Hughes tries to soar his magic plane.
TRUMP: The world must know the Statue of Liberty represents confidence in consumerism.
CARTER: I think we should explore enhanced roles of the World Bank, Mr. President!
