  "account": "A gold statue of former U.S. President Donald Trump, naked and perched atop a smaller figure, has been unveiled at the European Parliament in Strasbourg, France. Created by Danish artist Jens Galschiot, the 23-karat gold piece has been dubbed \"The Orange Plague.\"\n\nThe statue stands 2.5 meters tall and includes the following inscription: \"I am sitting on the back of a man. He is sinking under my burden. I will do anything to help him. Except stepping down from his back. — The King of Injustice.\" Galschiot's website also features a quote, stating that Trump embodies one of the greatest threats to the rule-based world order, democratic values, and efforts to combat the climate crisis. The message urges action against the destructive influence of such political figures.\n\nThe sculpture is scheduled to remain at the European Parliament until Thursday before traveling to the COP31 UN Climate Conference in Turkey in November. It has previously been exhibited at the COP30 UN Climate Summit in Brazil, the Munich Security Conference in Germany, the Rebild Festival in Denmark, and demonstrations supporting Greenland during the Danish election. Newsweek sought a comment from The White House regarding the installation.",
