  "account": "A satirical statue of former US President Donald Trump, measuring 2.5 meters, was unveiled at the European Parliament in Strasbourg, France. Danish artist Jens Galschiot created the 23-karat gold-coated artwork, titled \"Orange Plague\" and \"King of Injustice,\" depicting Trump naked and sitting atop a smaller man. The accompanying card explains that Trump is burdening the smaller man, and the artist criticizes Trump for obstructing efforts to address climate change. Positioned at an intersection linking two European Parliament buildings, the sculpture will remain in place until Thursday. Left-wing European Parliament member Per Clausen, who commissioned the piece, expressed no concern over potential backlash from Trump, stating that those who find it intolerable have no place in the global arena. Despite Trump's silence on the matter, the statue has previously been exhibited in other European locations and during the COP30 UN climate conference in Belém, Brazil.",
