Statue mocking Trump in Slovenia burnt

Police are looking for the arsonist

Newsroom January 10 10:10

A wooden statue mocking U.S. President Donald Trump was burned to the ground Thursday in Slovenia, the birthplace of his wife Melania, authorities said.

The nearly eight-meter (26-foot) high construction, erected last year in a village in northeast of Slovenia, showed Trump with his trademark hair style, blue suit, white shirt and a long red tie. His right arm — fist clenched — was raised high like that of New York’s Statue of Liberty.

When triggered, a mechanism inside the statue opened a red-painted mouth and shark-like teeth used to appear.
