Think down the road, a generation or two. The dust of the Trump presidency has settled in one way or another. We won’t speculate on where human society is at. That’s a dark game and we have things to do today.
But one thing’s for certain. Children will absolutely be telling ghost stories around this newly unveiled sculpture of Melania Trump that now resides in her birthplace, the Slovenian town of Sevnica.
The work is by an “amateur chainsaw sculptor” named Ales “Maxi” Zupevc, who was commissioned by American artist Brad Downey to create the piece.
And it’s quite a piece.
Art inspires conversation, and people have had a lot to say about it:

There’s only one word for this statue of Melania in her Slovenian hometown of Sevnica: uncanny. And the body double mystery: solved. And Trump’s draft-dodging wasn’t due to bone spurs – it was splinters pic.twitter.com/XFsvAltB82

This is quite possibly the creepiest thing I’ve seen in my life.
And I’ve watched a lot of stephen king movies.— Emily Vena (@emvena) July 6, 2019
Well, it’s kind of a rendering of Roblox Melania.

I get it – it’s supposed to be a statue of Melania’s soul, not her body.
Accurate portrayal.— Emily Vena (@emvena) July 6, 2019
Fake. This one is wood. The real one is plastic.

I think the artist really captured her personality.

Well thank God someone told me what it was. Would never had guessed.
