Wooden statue of Trump erected in Melania's home country of Slovenia (not delicately carved)



President Trump finally has a monument in Slovenia, his wife’s home country.

A wooden statue, nearly 25 feet tall, has suddenly popped up on private land in the village of Sela pri Kamniku, about 20 miles northeast of the capital, Ljubljana.The president may not like it, though.

The statue depicts Trump in a blue suit and a bright red tie, standing with a fierce look in his blue eyes, his right arm raised straight up in the air with a clenched fist.

With a square head and jaw, the Trump statue looks almost like a Christmas nutcracker, or maybe a Presidential Pez. It also appears to be a work in progress, with an extension ladder still propped up against the statue’s head Wednesday and scrap lumber piled nearby.

The man who designed it, who was interviewed on local television station Kanal A but not identified by name, said it was meant to show Trump in the style of Superman, or the Statue of Liberty.

Needs an inscription: "Donald John Trump -- His own best friend."

Need to bring it down about 45°, and that should be an open hand, not a closed fist. Otherwise, a very flattering image!
