This sculpture has been made to address \u2018the elephant in the room\u2019 and start a necessary debate [about] how the US is destroying the world\u2019s only chance to counter the climate catastrophe.\u201d\u00a0All visitors receive a 3D-printed miniature of the sculpture to take home. \u00a0Galschi\u00f8t has said\u00a0he printed around 20,000 sculptures that he distributed not only to visitors but also to staff throughout the European Parliament.Left-wing Danish European Parliament member Per Clausen, who invited the artist, said he is not worried about a potential reaction by Trump.&#8221;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,&#8221; Clausen said.\u00a0As of yet, no reaction from the subject of \u201cThe Orange Plague&#8221;, who is usually reactive online and not known for his thick skin in these matters.\u00a0The statue was previously displayed at the \u201chands off Greenland\u201d demonstrations in Copenhagen earlier this year and the COP30 UN Climate Summit in Bel\u00e9m, Brazil last year.After the present installation in Strasbourg, Galschi\u00f8t plans to exhibit &#8220;The Orange Plague&#8221; again at the COP31 UN Climate Conference next month Antalya, T\u00fcrkiye.<\/div>\n<p>[analyse_source url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/2026\/10\/08\/the-orange-plague-naked-trump-statue-on-display-at-european-parliament-in-strasbourg&#8221;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[analyse_image type=&#8221;featured&#8221; src=&#8221;https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/94\/38\/87\/1200x675_cmsv2_c7e0d361-1cb5-53e8-82a6-6353fd5571f8-9943887.jpg&#8221;] Europe News Ex-prince Andrew warrants ruled &#8216;unlawful&#8217; as police probe continues Sport Tsunoda Claims World Gold as Murao Retains His Title in Baku Economy Spain: taxes account for over 53% of labour costs, study finds Europe News Pro-Russian hacker group targets Italian Foreign Ministry website Europe News Ex-prince Andrew warrants ruled &#8216;unlawful&#8217; [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[90],"tags":[226,36],"class_list":["post-2186210","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-international","tag-crawlmanager","tag-euronews-com"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2186210","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2186210"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2186210\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2186210"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2186210"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2186210"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
