Naked statue of Donald Trump unveiled and it’s called the ‘Orange Plague’

The ‘Orange Plague’ statue depicts Donald Trump on the shoulders of a man.

A golden statue depicting a naked,rotund Donald Trump has gone on display in Strasbourg.

Visitors to the European Parliament in the French city are now greeted by the more than 8-foot statue showing the US president mounted on another man.

Titled ‘Orange Plague’ or ‘The King of Injustice,’ it has been created by Danish sculptor Jens Galschiot as a satirical criticism of Trump and his climate policies.

The figure of Trump is drenched in 23-karat leaf gold,holding a giant golf club,a ball-shaped world and scales,a symbol of justice.

‘The Orange Plague’ Trump statue was previously showcased in Brazil,Copenhagen and Munich at conferences and protests

The man carrying the Trump statue on his shoulders appears strained and tired.
