U.S. first lady Melania Trump statue set on fire in Slovenia.

People gather around what conceptual artist Ales 'Maxi' Zupevc claims is the first ever monument of Melania Trump, set in the fields near the town of Sevnica, the U.S. First Lady's hometown.A wooden sculpture of U.S. first lady Melania Trump was torched near her hometown of Sevnica, Slovenia, on the night of July Fourth, as Americans celebrated U.S. Independence Day, said the artist who commissioned the sculpture.

"I want to know why they did it," said Downey, who had hoped the statue would foster a dialogue about the political situation in the United States, highlighting Melania Trump's status as an immigrant married to a president sworn to reduce immigration.In recent weeks, President Donald Trump has pledged to take a hard line on anyone destroying or vandalising U.S. historical monuments, as political activism against racial injustice has swept across the country.

"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.

Statues now... People later... We are devolving as a species to a standard set in Salem 400 years ago.

JonesRj1964 It used to seeing her with clothes on.

Why'd they feel the need to commission an original? A Victoria's Secret mannequin would have worked just as well, and been a lot cheaper.

What has she done that a statue was erected for her ?

Happy Midsommar Slovenia!

Perhaps the perpetrators believe in sympathetic magic.

Captures her blank expression perfectly.

Is that an off the shoulder First Lady outfit?

Yaaaaaas!!

Poor thing. Let's remember better times:

Maybe Trump can bring the Melania statue to his next rally?

Plastic burns? Huh. Oh the *statue* was set on fire. Got it.

As it should be.

Itsafairday Wait how do you burn a statue was it made of wood? I mean props to whoever made it happen but wow.

Biden doesn’t do anything you guys do it all for him. He’s basement pedo. WWG1WGA

Ahhh. I really don't care, do you?

😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭

70Formula Why was there a statue in the first place?

Good. So be it in whole of eu and commonwealth. Most sucky president and first lady in us' modern history.

Witch Hunt!

I don't think that's Melania Trump. Way too much facial expression.

Why does melania trump have a statue? And question number two, who cares?

Be burn

darn her for marrying into money and emmigrating to a superior country

Evil

angry little people😂😂

Liberal hack CNBC with the hard hitting business news. Put back the a$$ beating of Joe and fruitloop Andrew Ross. That was better viewing.

Didn’t recognize her with her clothes on

I'd like to see it all charred up

Was that really a Tribute

'In Slovenia we make statue out of wood. Bologna plot big trouble for moose and squirrel'

I call BS

Enough is enough.

Comparing the ivy leaf sizes and the people in the pic, it looks like a fake picture. How ever, why is it not on fire..I’m just asking...

Can anyone name a more famous Slovenian than Melanie? They should be grateful, not arsonists.

Haha WOOD. Biden2020

Very 😥 sad smh

Um, after looking at it. Did she orchestrate it?

Looks like Hillary Clinton to me.

After 239 scientists send their letters to the World Health Organisation saying the coronavirus is dangerously airborne, WHO finally say that the coronavirus might be airborne!!!
