Golden, naked Trump statue on display at European Parliament

Описание: An 8-foot-tall naked statue of President Trump holding a golf club and a globe-shaped ball in one hand and scales in the other titled "The Orange Plague" has been put up at the European Parliament in Strasbourg, France. He’s sitting on the shoulders of another man, who looks frail, and the whole thing is covered in 23-karat gold leaf.

Danish artist Jens Galschiøt says the work is inspired by "The Emperor’s New Clothes" and asks how long people will allow the powerful to be carried on their backs. He says Trump was chosen as the subject because of his efforts to roll back climate initiatives and pressure other countries to do the same.
