After a wooden statue of Melania Trump, the First Lady of the United States, which was located in her hometown of Slovenia, was burned down in 2020, a new bronze statue of Melania was re-erected in its original position. However, this bronze statue has also met with the same fate. Foreign media reported on May 16 that the statue was sawed off and removed from the ankles, leaving only the feet of the statue and the stump below at the scene.
US media reported that local police spokesperson Alenka Rangus said they received a report about the theft of the copper statue on the 13th and immediately rushed to the scene and launched an investigation. They are currently making efforts to track down the perpetrator.
When Donald Trump was first elected President of the United States, someone in Slovenia carved a wooden statue of Melania. However, it was set on fire in July 2020. Artist Brad Downey then commissioned a craftsman to recreate a bronze statue of Melania two months later.
The report mentioned that local residents would not feel sorry at all about the theft of the copper statue, and even speculated that Melania herself might not care either.
In fact, the statue not only does not resemble Melania Trump in appearance, but when Donny made the statue, he intended to express how she benefited from the fast US naturalization process to become an American, while other immigrants suffered under her husband Donald Trump's anti-immigration policies.
