The wooden sculpture of the First Lady, located in her hometown of Sevnica, was set ablaze on July 4th

that local police informed Brad Downey, the American artist who originally commissioned the singular sculpture, that the statue was set on fire and that they were investigating.. The Berlin-based artist said the purpose behind the statue was to highlight the controversial immigration policy of the Trump administration by spotlighting the fact that Melania Trump was herself an immigrant.

The carved statue, which has little resemblance to the First Lady, is located on the outskirts of the village of Sevnica and was erected in July 2019. Downey engaged local folk artist Ales Zupevc to make the statue which he carved out of the trunk of a linden tree with a chainsaw. The attack on Melania Trump's statue comes at a time in the U.S. when statues of Confederate leaders and those with links to slavery are being torn down by anti-racism protestors.

Well, as Melania eloquently put it, I really don’t care.

Lmfao!!!

Thank goodness, it was probably her idea. Pretty sure whoever carved it used a spoon or really dull butter knife.

She probably did it herself🤣🤣

Are we respected yet?

🤣

Useful idiots

Holy shit. What is that. A block of wood with a dress?

With all the hookers and porn stars her trick husband has paid to have unprotected sex with over the years I'm sure it's not the first time she's been burnt

Well it was such a beautiful professional-looking statue to start with. A shame. 😂

Ok...

Was this FLOTUS before or after her Taxpayer installed tits?

The Hollywood Reporter stated it doesn't look anything like her. Huh! I think it looks just like her, except perhaps it's a bit more animated!

If you visit Slovenia and talk to its people, it’s clear they don’t care about Melania or who she is. How’s that for national pride?

Lmao

wtf is that? should set itself on fire from embarrassment

Just when you think that things couldn't get any worse something like this happens

Midsommar

I didn't know prostitutes recieved statues

Why on the 4th? Do they not realize the significance?

How come?

lol

HAHAAHA!

Is that photo before or after they burned it?

Not sure it’s religious, political or artistic. The ambiguity is almost performance art.

🔥🔥🔥

The world's worst gold digger.

🤣

Playing ' Disco inferno ' music at the background.

So lifelike. Sad.

Good. I'm glad. She knew he was a monster before she married him. Guess money means more to her. What she should do is grab a microphone and tell the world what a monster he is. The truth. Then I'd respect and pity her.only then.

Ok 👌

She’s so hot they didn’t need fire.

the artist wonder why they did this?

may the real one do the same in hell...

looks like it was some 3rd grader's papier-mâché project.

Coo man

Fixed it

I Really Don't Care, Do you?

Oh my God, it was a real insult to the original MelaniaTrump😎😎

Well ya

she should be glad this happened lol

Yawns

It’s a horrendous statue too 🤔

TASTE

What first lady? Michelle has a statue in Slovenia?

Donald's Torch Song To Her

Public Roasting

Melania hired this hit for surrrre.

You can never go home again.

Really!

I really don’t care, do u?

A scarcity of firewood during a pandemic, perhaps.

If it looked like that are we sure she didn't torch it herself?

Where is the Women Advocacy Groups at? Ooo forgot she thinks wrong. StupidAmericanLovingWhiteWomen LeftwingDontCareAboutAllWomen

More of that, please 💜

They erected a statue then burn it🙄

Thank you. 🙌
