A statue purported to be of First Lady Melania Trump on the outskirts of her hometown in Slovenia has drawn mixed reactions from locals and the international community.

Rising out of the banks of the Sava River like a tribute to a forgotten god, a crude wooden effigy carved vaguely like a woman holding up a clenched, clubbed hand sits just outside the city of Sevnica, Slovenia.

The statue is the contrivance of American conceptual artist Brad Downey, known for other polarizing works such as ‘,’ and was carved by Slovenian local artist Ales Zupevc – known as Maxi – who was born in the same year and in the same hospital in Sevnica as Melania herself. "We in Sevnica can only laugh and, at the same time, hold our heads in our hands over their catastrophic reputation," she said.

Not bad for a porn star....

What the fck is that? Is she standing on trumps fat head? Blazing saddles it reminds me of a Medieval relic.. This is a joke right? I have so many questions.. did she cry when she seen it?

Again CTV. Anyone else and you would rant and rave about how artistic and amazing. Nothing going on in Canada? In case you haven’t heard there is an election soon.

Fake 🌮

Give it a rest, CTV. Report on something important.

Looks like trumps resurrected blowup doll

hyperrealism.

What? You think Jackson Pollack could have done better? Rough cut chainsaw sculpture. 'ghoulish' seems a bit tactless & in-artful choice of word, regardless of who the sculpture depicts. I'd say it worked though. Got world wide free advertising. Well done you. 😀

CTV reports these things to conjure up hatred and negativity because they are far left miserable political activists, not journalists. The 1st lady is classy and beautiful. She is above and beyond any CTV hideous troll staffer.

yawn

Can’t wait to see the one of her present husband.

Looks just like her

Uh, yuck!!😲

Statue are for dead people

CTV news, Your number one source for endless “news” about the Trump.

Haha. Why is there a statue of this bimbo?

I’d say it’s quite fitting to be honest.

She was gorgeous at inauguration Too much time and 💰

The queen of plastic surgery is probably not very happy about the face on this statue

That is UGLY- It doesn't even resemble her, And what's that in supposed to be hand?, It looks like an over size mitten& what the Hell happen to her Face?, Legs to big!, looks like she's wearing blue - Boots!

Well at least doing that to a tree is in keeping with the Trumps disastrous environmental policy.

Nailed the personality.

In all fairness we’ve never seen Melania without her makeup off so it’s hard to say what she really looks like. I thinks it’s pretty close IMO

It makes the First Lady of the United States look like she's had work.

Yet it somehow shows more emotional range than the real thing.

Drenched Trump supporters, protesters mark July 4 in D.C.In a sweltering capital threatened by storms, the traditional Fourth of July parade Thursday served as a warm-up act to a distinctly nontraditional evening event at the Lincoln Memorial, where U.S. President Donald Trump planned to command the stage against the backdrop of a show of military muscle. Huh? Are you saying only 'Trump Supporters' 'mark 4 July'? So... who was celebrating it the last 100 or more years then? Just looks like a whole bunch of supporters to me! The protesters wouldn't leave their air-conditioned house! So many idiots in one place at one time...
