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.

Trump spectacles. It was 26 ft. tall, I had never heard about it either.

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.

When it was pressed the mouth would open to reveal large sharp shark like teeth. Like most American capitalist, it had 2 faces. The vampire/shark tooth face only came out when it opened its mouth.

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

Not sure what the question for Karnac would be, but that is the answer.

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.
