Danish artist Jens Galschiøt installed a satirical golden statue of Donald Trump, titled 'The Orange Plague,' at the European Parliament for a two-day exhibition. The sculpture, which depicted the former U.S. President as a nude figure sitting on a frail man, sparked criticism from Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico. While the artist intended the work to critique Trump's environmental and international policies, Fico characterized the display as a failure of European leadership and a sign of institutional decline.
