Naked Trump statue unveiled at European Parliament sparks MAGA meltdown: "Don't come asking the US for help"

Strasbourg, France - MAGA fans have been going off after a not-so-flattering art piece featuring President Donald Trump was unveiled at the European Parliament.

The eight-and-a-half-foot statue features a nude Trump holding a golf club with a ball that resembles the planet in one hand, and scales of justice in the other.

The president, who is seen riding on the shoulders of a frail, sickly man, is adorned in 23-carat gold leaf – a nod to the extensive gold decoration he's had added to the Oval Office since returning to the White House.

A plaque on the piece reads, "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."

The piece was created by Dutch artist Jens Galschiøt, who, as per his website, describes it as "a satirical out-cry" against Trump's "assault on the green transition and the rule-based world order."

"Trump represents one of the greatest threats to the rule-based world order, democratic values, and our common effort to solving the climate crisis. We must address this issue and stand together against such destructive influence," Galschiøt wrote.

Though critics on social media argued Galschiøt's piece is a meaningful symbol of how the world currently views Trump, the president's loyal MAGA base were predictably horrified.

Dutch right-winger Barbara Bonte described the piece as a "disgrace" and slammed leaders for not giving "basic respect for the president of a friendly nation."

One X user from Italy said they were "ashamed" of Parliament, and similarly described it as "disgusting."

Another offended MAGA fan declared, "Don't come asking the US for help when this is how you treat their President."

Throughout his years in politics, Trump has built a reputation for crassly insulting political enemies and even allies who disagree with aspects of his agenda.

In his second term, he has also clashed with multiple countries across Europe, particularly those who have not backed his costly war on Iran.

In an interview with DW, left-wing Danish MEP Per Clausen, who invited Galschiøt to display the piece, said, "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."
