The charred remains of a tree trunk that once acted as a plinth to a wooden statue of Melania Trump, made by conceptual artist Ales 'Maxi' Zupevc.In Washington, the office of Melania Trump did not immediately respond to a request for comment.take a hard line on anyone destroying or vandalizing U.S.
"The investigation in this case has not been completed yet so we cannot reveal details due to the interest of further procedures," police spokeswoman Alenka Drenik told Reuters. Although the statue’s face was rough-hewn and unrecognizable prior to the fire, the figure was painted with a pale blue wraparound coat resembling the one Melania Trump wore at the swearing in of her husband U.S. President Donald Trump.
The figure was carved with a chainsaw by local folk artist Ales Zupevc from the trunk of a living linden tree. In January, a large wooden statue resembling Donald Trump, designed by a local artist last year, was burnt in Slovenia's city of Moravce, east of the capital Ljubljana.
That was/is one of the most beautiful Chanel suits EVER... The most beautiful shade of blue.... The way everything including the gloves matched was/is beautiful. 💅🏾🏳️🌈🇺🇸
When asked about this story, the First Lady said “thank goodness that ugly statue has burned down - that dress color was all wrong...”
I really don’t care, do you? persist Vote2020
it will be restored by art experts and installed on the White House grounds. 🇺🇸
Poor women she is also a hostage like the whole nation
If the South really want to remember their Civil War heritage. Let’s put up monuments reminding them how THEY LOST Their claim of their racism as patriotism is entirely ludicrous and completely out of touch with reality
But the face... 🤣🤣🤣
Haha!!👹
Destruction of statues/monuments. 10yrs imprisonment. sarcasm
And what? People are going to blame BLM when it happened in her country?
Cut from a living tree. Living. I understand the artists intent. Time changes the meaning of things like this. I can’t think of any better metaphor for trump than killing what lives in order to erect a dead effigy of a hooker. It’s fitting it was burned. Melly shouldn’t go home.
Word to the (un)wise: FLOTUS, once you’re divorced from that assclown, maybe find a different place to go than home. They already burned an effigy of IdiotInChief, now you. Not a good sign, sweetie.
Who? Now that the sculpture is gone, I no longer remember who she is or why she is famous. 🤷♂️🥱
Even your own people don’t like you! Goddamn, that hurts!
If there was a statue of me that looked like that, I would burn it down myself.
All these Liberal comments,nothing but Nazis. Hitler shut down free speech,burnt and tire down statues. Hatred runs deep in the Democrat party.
The Democratic ISIS strikes again!
LOL. it should have been plastic that would be more like her.
They were probably giving here a facelift ! Maybe trying to open up those beady eyes 👀 she has !
Allen58B It sounds like it’s a perfect time to send her back to home country.
That was five days ago. It’s almost like there’s a political agenda here, but it’s NBC. Couldn’t be, right? 🤣
😳
After BLM ANTIFA CHINAVIRUS never vote democrat
As it should🥴
They actually thought it was a statue of Pinocchio who Melania had surreptitiously cross-gendered into to avoid her war crimes trial.
That statue looks like Elsa more than Melania.
Same artist as the one who did Lucille Balls sculpture for her hometown? Abysmal
That's a shame. It really captured her natural wooden state perfectly.
Hahahahaha.. Wait, why does she have a statue in her honour?
Actually considering how butt ugly the statue was, sombody may have tried to burn it as a beautification project.
I don’t really care. Do you?
I really don’t care. Do you?.......but that lets you know 45 is toxic around the world.
Did any part burn hotter than the rest? What a loss for Trump’s Statue Park... msnbc NicolleDWallace
The Lord giveth and The Lord taketh away. Thank you for taking away We appreciate it 🙂
No disrespect, but the statue wasn't exactly flattering to begin with...
Protesters Terrorists Anti Trumpers Socialists Communists ? You decide
Too bad, it was more lifelike than her.
and it was such a likeness of putins daughter melania
It's very life-like.
If I was melania, I would be happy that hideous thing was destroyed.
Even Slovenia doesn't like Melania anymore!!😂😂
Melania: Wow. It's like looking at a mirror.
Maybe they were just honoring our FirstHooker's commitment to reconstructive plastic surgery.
THAT was the sculpture? Wow they hate her there, too.
not today, satan!!!!!!
This is the Onion isn't it .
The statue is prettier than her, though
It was probably Melania. Would you want a statue that looks like that?
You are kidding? If that's a statue of Melania Trump, be on the lookout for Barron with a pack of matches. A kindergartener could have done better.
send it to Spain for restoration.
She’s ruining her life by being with this man.
FLOTUS it looked just like you too? Why do you think your own people did that? That’s not cool of your fam...😳
She had to know climbing in the backseat of the Limo that it wasn’t always going to be all lil shrooms and never biggly.... it has to be just horrible belonging to the most hated family in the world. Boo hoo🤬
Looks just like her🤣
2byear olds in grown bodies
Does this mean that deadbeat donald will not be able to ask for political asylum in Slovenia when he loses the next election and a real attorney general will go after him for his crimes while president.
Oh, my bad.
MichaelSctMoore First they burn sculptures, than they burn people. Socialism
Posted 20x and still not newsworthy.
I wonder why
Eric is still anxious to jump the smoldering embers
Democrats are so proud.Democrats are the Enemy of the people.
That's a sculpture of Melania? You sure she's not the one who set it on fire? 😉
She's a traitor in her own country! Love it
The likeness is uncanny.
Which is more wooden?
Gori gori, majku ti jebem, izdajnik!
You misspelled 'Wooden Sculpture Of Bigfoot as Jackie O', NBC. I demand a correction
You know, in hindsight, it might have been more of an insult to leave it up...
Those darn Slovenian Dems setting that putty kat 🐱 on fire 🔥 BURN BABY BURN
I see a distinct resemblance!
FLOTUS statue should have worn a mask😷
Really! It looks a lot like her Botox face.
That could’ve been anyone
The leftist hate infects people all around the world, it is a pandemic. We have to stop this virus with all our power. Love, not hate
Is this the Onion?
Wait? That is supposed to be Melania Trump? I wouldn't be surprised if they torched it because it was so terrible.
I really don’t care... do you?

In 🇸🇮 they erect statues for a women who was a model, stays in a marriage for 💰 and hung out with Epstein?
I don’t care, do you?
Why does she have a statue? What has she accomplished aside from marrying rich and modeling nude?
She’s a traitor to her own country lol of course Someone is going to set her on fire. Lol
It’s so lifelike
So ignorant people are everywhere
I don't care either she was cruelty as well so many kids still in the cages and no Trump forcing schools open during the COVID-19 surging in many states ignored kids teachers and their parents life. She just staying silenced
Ommfg 😂😂😂😭😭😂😂😂😂
My goodness it looks exactly like her!! I thought it WAS her.
Voodoo doll 😂😂 did it have a I don't care do you written on back too 🤷♂️
Even as they destroy everything they find offensive, these illiberal 'progressive' buffoons are saying they are the 'tolerant' ones. 🙄 They know nothing but ignorance and destruction.
Well, Republicans always say she's the hottest first lady...
Well based on the look of it I would bet Melania had it put on fire
Now let’s see how many cultist dumbfucks blame this on American liberals. lol
🤣🤣🤣
Well I guess they showed her what's up lol 😂
I didn’t realize kindergarten kids in Slovenia do wood carving.
Good news
Lol
Who cares
So life like. The artist really captured her true wooden nature.
Even Slovenia is trying to de-skank.
wow
Special ed person created that statue
😂😂😂
Trump family will burn in hell if such a place existed.
You cant be anymore hateful and violent than the people on the left.
if you say so 🙄 Did you tinkle reporting that someones art was destroyed. News must be slow
I don't care, do you?
That should be set on fire that really is ugly !
They get it wrong again! He’s not against immigration! He’s against “ILLEGAL” immigration! Get it right for a change NBC!
She had a statue?
Poorly sculpted anyway. She was barely recognizable with the clothes on.
it's legs are together. that isn't her.
Yikes
They should be burning down the sculpture learning annex at the local college instead...This thing looks horrible...get your shit together Slovenia!
I tried not to laugh...
I really don’t care, do u?
Clearly this ritual works. They banished her halfway across the world and kept her there...
What do they have against escorts?
Look at all the ' educated' angry adults. Who claim to be from a party of inclusion but are some of the meanest people I have ever seen because they can hide behind a keyboard
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Wow disgusting
Same brains and personality
This is how vicious the LEFT can be.
check out these 35 states with corona virus vaccines now
Good! MelaniaWasAnEscort
That escalated quickly
That statue has more morals and integrity then the trumps , the orange one or the mail order hooker 🍊💩🤡
I don't really care, do u?
Great likeness.
A wooden statue, carved with a chain saw, at the expense of a lovely living tree? I do see the resemblance.
What? She has a statue? JFC.
Be Best.
Some people care too much about politics
Is that the Before or After shot?
Now that is Funny
🏃🏽♀️🔥
I’m sure there was good reasons for this
