A gilded statue of US President Donald Trump naked went on display in the European Parliament building in Strasbourg on Tuesday.

Danish artist Jens Galschiøt is exhibiting the satirical statue, titled "Orange Plague" and also known as "King of Injustice," at the parliament's headquarters in the eastern French city.

It shows the president sitting naked on the shoulders of a much smaller man. In his hand, he holds a long golf club. Including its pedestal, the statue is around 2.5 metres tall and, according to the artist, is coated with 23-karat gold.

An orange cloth covering it was removed when it was unveiled on Tuesday. The statue stands at one of the parliament's busiest intersections connecting two buildings. It is scheduled to remain on display through Thursday.

The artist was invited by Danish left-wing member of the European Parliament Per Clausen. "If someone is so thin-skinned that they cannot tolerate this sculpture being exhibited in the European Parliament, then they have no place on the world stage," Clausen said.

Business cards placed beside the sculpture quote the "King of Injustice" as saying: "I am sitting on the back of a man. He is sinking under the burden. I would do anything to help him. Except stepping down from his back."

Galschiøt describes Trump as one of the greatest obstacles to solving climate change.

Save your childish lies to the Kindergarten Pupils of your village. All of you reason and think in the same manner.

Your father is a former Military Administrator and rather than rubbing shoulders with the upper echelons of the society, you’re wasting your life away on Nairaland designing website .

No be only University of Sunderland, na University of Kuvukiland.

I have often found that on issues of foreign affairs, we are on the same page. But on the home front, you refer to a fellow human being, albeit the president, as a demigod. Yet you seem unable to reconcile that with Trump's cult following. If they are wrong, why are you right? An observation.

Being a disciple of His Excellency, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR) is not a cult but religion.

He is a political Demigod and his achievements, base and structure has proven that.

I have disagreed with some of his policies like the pilgrimage spending and the $750 billion mineral deal with the US.

He is near to perfect and one of a kind.

Which Jesus didn't teach you by the way.

Jesus taught that if they are not for us, they are against us.

Muslims have only one primary mission on earth, kill Jews and Christians to inherit 72 virgins.

The very worst form of human being.

Lol... Netanyahu (AntiChrist) has intentionally killed more Christians than the Muslims you choose to have sleepless nights over. And he has done it over a very very short time. He has destroyed more churches and even more synagogues. Lol. Ignorance is bliss though.

If they don't call them Muslims their benefactors would not pay their salaries this month.

Jews believe Jesus is covered in excrement and burning in hell

and which Jesus taught you that one?

The one that said the famous love your neighbor as yourself?

If that's their mission, why have all your Muslim neighbors yet to kill you?

If the whole purpose of their religion is to kill Jews and Christians to inherit virgins, there is no need to do any other thing other than find you and kill you now.

Shouldn't that be common sense?

They are doing it and succeeding or you want to deny it? The only problem is that the available virgins in their hell fire may not go round.
