The Orange Plague is a 2026 sculpture by the Danish artist Jens Galschiøt. The work features a naked U.S. President Donald Trump in 23 carat gold leaf, sitting on a smaller person's shoulders. It drew widespread international attention after having been installed inside the European Parliament building.
A plaque beneath the statue reads:
"I am sitting on the back of a man. He is sinking under my burden I will do anything to help him. Except stepping down from his back. —The King of Injustice."
The statue, 2.6m tall, was created by Danish artist Jens Galschiøt. It holds a large golf club (golf is a passion of Donald Trump, who is famous for his golf courses), a set of scales (symbolizing justice), and a golf ball modeled to look like the planet Earth.https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2026/10/07/golden-naked-donald-trump-statue-european-parliament/
