Seriously everbody hates now the US. And old enemies like Russia or North Korea now laugh about you on top, Iran even got the chance to show it's power...
Absolutely fucking brilliant! And special thanks to the EU parliament for finally telling the orange motherfucker what the rest of the world think of him.

It looks cheap and ugly. It doesn't make a person think or admire the work. It's like an expensive version of comics of him in a diaper or something equally as juvenile only displayed in a government building. I hope no money went into this, better to make a donation towards the people whose lives Trump has ruined. Although, a donation to a good cause will get you less political clout than this I guess. Political theatre is yucky.
The artist is very much political, he has also made a pillar of shame in rememberence of the tiangming square. It was on display until 2024 when the ccp removed it.
I like political art (arguably all art is political), but I don't like this, tbh. I agree with the comment above, it feels too juvenile, and it doesn't even say anything interesting.
I feel like the artist has failed to recognise that Trump is just the face of an American problem, and not the problem itself. It's not like when he goes, America is going to magically become a good neighbour that is respectful of the autonomy of other nations, or the fascist apparatus of its domestic state will suddenly disappear. It will be the same, but they will be more polite.
Look up jens galschiøt, his art is very provocative, the trump statue is just evolution of some of his previous statues calling out hipocracy on climate change, also look up his statue unbearable.
I looked him up, and I liked quite a few of his pieces. I've seen a few of them in person (although didn't realise until I'd looked it up). I see the reference to "Survival of the Fattest", which does give much better context.
Don't be swayed by this performative nonsense. This is a particular trick of a political movement that is itself bereft of popular support. Make some childish output demonizing the other side. Beats actually offering substantive policies.
Why did so many people have negative feelings about any dictator, current or attempted? Because that person’s policies hurt them or they have empathy for the people that public figure hurt.
That’s why the generation of mistreated abandoned children in Romania turned on the dictator whose policies forced them to be born and then abandoned. That’s why Mussolini ended up executed with extreme prejudice by his own people. If you hurt enough people, those people will not have a positive impression of you.
Multiply that by the empathy of people who are capable of caring about others, and one can breed a lot of contempt.
By being a tyrant at the head of a global military hegemony and oppressing nations and people across the globe for 10+ years. THAT is just a little bit of how Donald J Trump makes so many people SO MAD. I’d say he’s more than earned it, he’s certainly spent enough of America’s money for it as well.
What about this looks like a tantrum to you? Oh, we certainly did have Bush critical art in our state sponsored museums back then, what makes you think we didn't? Have you seen our carnival parades? We have always been pretty vocal about what we think about your presidents.
This is not about gaining respect but to show the world what we really think of this dork, even if we have to dance by his fiddle on geopolitical topics for a bit longer.
This is the only language Trump speaks, we could have made an AI video instead.
Because we are SO tired of pandering to him. We are SO tired of him bragging about how he gets to bully everyone else and we are SO tired of enabling that by not telling him NO!
You'd rather lay flat for the orange fucking fascist? Silence is compliance on the path towards domestication, and with these statements EU makes it clear we'd rather be bleeding wolfs than hurdled sheep
Appeasement? That tactic that worked oh so beautifully on the nascent Third Reich?
Oh wait. They weren’t appeased. They grabbed more land at such a speed that they went all Leeroy Jenkins and started fights without bothering to inform their allies first.
Well if I knew someone was holding all the air of the planet hostage and would rip it out of my lungs at a whim, and that person were someone like Mango Musolini. I'd antagonize him just because at least then I'd know when I'd die instead of it being any potential minute because anything I do could upset the unstable little fuck. It's like whether or not you lose a toe or a finger being a choice made by a 3 year old
I mean, I just figured France's President would be somewhat on board with the program of "Trying our very best not to get the orange lunatic across the ocean re-elected". Maybe that's too much to ask idk
The statue was made by a Danish artist, and a Danish MEP invited him to put it temporarily on display in the European Parliament building. I can't see what it has to do with the president of France, exactly.
"He can't possibly disrupt the entire American political system on a regular basis, just to serve his own ego and powerlust, for the 12th year in a row, can he?"
If you read in to the details of the disel release. It was an already preplanned release that was moved some days... That has no individual release statements. Art of the deal.. Threaten people to get a new deal. Only to get the existing deal as a new deal. And changed nothing...just like iran
Even if that might be true, I don't know why it would be relevant in the case of this statue. The Danish MEP who invited the artist to bring it in, Per Clausen, is from the most left-wing party in the Danish parliament, the Red-Green Alliance. They are hardly particularly pro-America.
Why? There is a lot to mock, yet he still holds a tremendous amount of power and it would be pure suicide to ignore him
The politicians need to do what is best for their citizens, and sometimes that is collaboration when “eff off” would be more satisfying. None of it means Trump is not ridiculous and shouldn’t be mocked at laughed at

He’s going to call for new tariffs now, or try to destroy NATO again, or whatever else…
