A 8.5ft naked Trump golden statue appears inside European Parliament building. Then visitors see the plinth text: ‘I am sitting on the back of a man’

An 8.5ft-tall golden statue depicting a naked President Donald Trump has appeared inside a European Parliament building in Strasbourg, France, the Telegraph reports. This installation, which occupies one of the busiest intersections connecting the parliament facilities, is scheduled to remain on display until Thursday.

The sculpture, titled Orange Plague, is finished in 23-carat gold leaf and presents a striking image. It shows the President nude, holding a set of justice scales in one hand and a long golf club in the other. At the end of that club, you will find a golf ball designed to look like the world. Perhaps the most provocative element is the base of the statue, which portrays the President sitting on the shoulders of a smaller, clothed man who appears to be struggling under the weight.
