Naked, gilded Trump statue goes on display at EU Parliament

A gilded statue of US President Donald Trump naked went on display in the European Parliament building in Strasbourg on Tuesday.

Danish artist Jens Galschiot is exhibiting the satirical statue, titled Orange Plague and also known as King of Injustice, at the parliament’s headquarters in the eastern French city.

It shows the president sitting naked on the shoulders of a much smaller man. In his hand, he holds a long golf club. Including its pedestal, the statue is around 2.5 metres tall and, according to the artist, is coated with 23-carat gold.

An orange cloth covering it was removed when it was unveiled on Tuesday. The statue stands at one of the parliament’s busiest intersections connecting two buildings. It is scheduled to remain on display through Thursday.
