Trump Naked Gold Statue: An eight-foot gold statue depicting US President Donald Trump naked has been unveiled at the European Parliament building in Strasbourg, France. Titled “The Orange Plague,” the controversial sculpture was created by Danish artist Jens Galschiøt and is covered in 23-karat gold leaf, according to The Independent.

The sculpture shows a naked figure resembling Trump standing on the shoulders of a much smaller man. The figure holds a golf club and a globe-shaped ball in one hand, while a set of scales is positioned in the other.
The artwork is labelled “The King of Injustice.” A satirical message on its base depicts the smaller man as carrying the weight of the figure above him.

Galschiøt has described “The Orange Plague” as a political satire. According to The Independent, the Danish artist said the sculpture was intended as a “satirical outcry” over what he sees as concerns surrounding Trump’s climate and foreign policies.
The artist has also criticised Trump’s impact on the rules-based international order, democratic values and efforts to address climate change. These are Galschiøt’s stated views and do not represent an official position of the European Parliament.
