PHOTOS<\/span>: Golden Naked Trump Statue Unveiled At European Parliament<\/span><\/h1>"},"content":{"rendered":"

A golden statue of a naked Donald Trump is on display at the European Parliament in Strasbourg, France, at one of the busiest intersections connecting two of the Parliament\u2019s buildings<\/strong>, and is scheduled to stay until Thursday. Named Orange Plague, the 8.5-foot sculpture shows the US president holding justice scales and a long golf club, its ball made to look like the world, while sitting on the shoulders of a smaller, clothed man. Text on the plinth reads: \u201cI 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Jens Galschiot, the Danish artist who created the sculpture, said: \u201cTrump represents one of the greatest threats to the rules-based world order, democratic values and our common effort to solving the climate crisis.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe must address this issue and stand together against such destructive influence.\u201d<\/p>\n

Galschiot said the statue, covered in 23-carat gold leaf, was inspired by the story of The Emperor\u2019s New Clothes<\/em>, in which a vain leader parades naked through the street, believing he is dressed in the finest clothes.<\/p>\n

In the fairytale, no one tells him that he is naked out of fear and flattery until a child points out his nudity and the emperor becomes a figure of ridicule.<\/p>\n

Per Clausen, a Left-wing Danish European Parliament member, invited the artist to exhibit the statue in the building.<\/p>\n

He said that he was not worried about a potential reaction from Trump, adding: \u201cIf someone is so thin-skinned that they cannot tolerate this sculpture being exhibited in the European Parliament, then they have no place on the world stage.\u201d<\/p>\n

The statue was previously on display during the 30th United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP30)<\/strong>, which was held in Brazil last year. It also made an appearance in Germany during this year\u2019s Munich Security Conference.<\/p>\n
