A gold-coated statue depicting U.S. President Donald Trump naked is displayed at the European Parliament in Strasbourg. The roughly 2.6-meter work, by Danish artist Jens Galschiot, is titled “The Orange Plague.” Outlets describe the figure as overweight and seated on a smaller man’s back, holding a long gold club.
According to Deutsche Welle, the artist uses the piece to criticize Trump, saying he is to blame for getting in the way of efforts to address climate change. The reports from Newsweek and the Daily Mail focus primarily on the statue’s appearance and its placement at the Parliament, while DW adds more detail on the stated motivation behind the artwork.
