A 2.5-meter satirical statue depicting US regime leader Donald Trump has been put on public display within the European Parliament building in Strasbourg, France. Created by Danish artist Jens Galschiot, the gold-coated artwork is titled "The Orange Plague" while also being widely referred to as the "King of Injustice."

The provocative sculpture features a naked figure of the US leader holding a long gold club and sitting comfortably on the shoulders of a smaller man who appears to be sinking under the heavy burden. Accompanying explanatory cards purportedly blame Trump for actively hindering international efforts to address pressing climate change challenges, with the artist suggesting the figure refuses to step down from the struggling citizen's back.

The exhibition was reportedly arranged by left-wing Danish European Parliament member Per Clausen, who invited the controversial artist to the legislature. Clausen claimed he harbours no concerns regarding a potential backlash from Washington, stating that anyone sensitive enough to tolerate such political art supposedly has no place on the global political stage.

The installation is currently positioned at an intersection connecting two parliamentary buildings and is scheduled to remain on display until Thursday. Previously, the statue has toured several European cities and was reportedly exhibited at the COP30 UN climate conference in Belem, Brazil, while representatives of the US regime have thus far offered no official comments.
