27 daysIs he holding scales? That seems wrong. And what’s the black crying head doing between his legs?

26 daystho tbh I’d like an explanation as well. Unclear to me why they appear in the original.

26 daysThe artist said it is coated with 23-karat gold and that his work is also known by the name “King of Injustice.”
It’s probably worth more than the “original” golden Trump statue.
That explains the scales.
According to Galschiøt, the work was inspired by Hans Christian Andersen’s The Emperor’s New Clothes, and is a “satirical outcry” against Trump’s volatile climate and foreign policies.
That explains why he’s sitting on a thin brown man, esp. the last bit.
And it all makes horrible sense.
