Naked Trump statue goes on display in Strasbourg

A statue of US President Donald Trump was put on exhibit in the European Parliament building in Strasbourg, France. The 2.5-meter satirical statue, by Danish artist Jens Galschiot, is called "Orange Plague," and it shows the US leader naked, holding a long gold club and sitting on the shoulders of a smaller man. The artist said it is coated with 23-karat gold. The statue is also known by the name "King of Injustice." Next to the statue are cards explaining that the "King of Injustice" is "sitting on the back of a man" who is sinking under the burden.
