(8,445 posts)Considering that it was mocking the thin-skinned orange guy, he probably had someone do it. On the other hand, I'd never heard that this statue existed, and now it's publicized that at least some people in Slovenia aren't fond of -45.
So it's not a bad thing either way, IMO.

(8,445 posts)I don't think that's the case now. He has proven with his need to respond and whine about every negative comment that he really does not like bad publicity.
Yeah, this statue didn't appear to be all that bad. I hope they build a replacement that's more representative of the oaf.

It had been moved once already because of threats to burn it down.

(10,175 posts)does not like this statue of her, nor does her spokeswoman/friend.
I think most people would be flattered but the former nude model has brought law suits against her hometown for cashing in on her name. Her pricey lawyers have sent out cease and desist letters to all those local stores using her name or image to sell cupcakes and local tourism. Even the billboard in front of the town had her name on it....not anymore.

Poor little abused nude model. How dare her hometown use her name.

(1,639 posts)as First Lady? You would think that she would encourage such entrepreneurial efforts.
This was a woman who wanted to market products such as apparel, accessories, shoes, jewelry, cosmetics and fragrance while she was in a position that offered her increased public attention.
Because that's what you do when you become First Lady--sell stuff.
