Golden and naked: Trump statue displayed at European Parliament

A golden statue of Donald Trump depicts him naked and sitting on the shoulders of another man

The piece, created by Danish artist Jens Galschiot and titled The Orange Plague, shows the following messages:

“I am sitting on the back of a man. He is sinking under my burden. I will do anything to help him. Except stepping down from his back. - The King of Injustice.”

On his website, Galschiot said: “Trump represents one of the greatest threats to the rule-based world order, democratic values and our common effort to solving the climate crisis. 

“We must address this issue and stand together against such destructive influence.”

The statue, set to remain in the Alsatian city until Thursday, is expected to be shipped to Turkey for the November COP31 UN Climate Conference.

However, this isn't the first time that the statue has been displayed, making headlines at the last Climate Conference last year in Brazil, and at the Munich Security Conference earlier this year. 

The statue was also on display at Denmark’s Rebild Festival and Copenhagen’s “Hands off Greenland” demonstrations.
