Madame Tussauds in Germany has made a bold political statement by discarding Donald Trump’s wax figure just days before the election. Known for their lifelike sculptures of celebrities and public figures, Madame Tussauds locations worldwide showcase replicas of stars like Kim Kardashian and Justin Bieber, as well as past U.S. presidents. Recently, Trump’s wax figure was part of the Berlin museum’s collection, but in a surprising turn ahead of the November 3 election, the museum took it upon themselves to remove his figure from the presidential display, anticipating that he would not secure a second term.
The museum shared an eye-catching photo and video of their new “display,” featuring Trump, captured in his signature thumbs-up gesture, being wheeled away in a dumpster. Surrounding him were various props, including signs proclaiming “Fake News!” and “You are fired!” reminiscent of his time on The Apprentice. The dumpster was emblazoned with the slogan “Dump Trump Make America Great Again,” and was filled with trash bags and MAGA hats, set against a backdrop of Trump Tower.
Orkide Yalcindag, the museum’s marketing manager, stated, “Today’s activity is rather of a symbolic character ahead of the elections in the United States. We here at Madame Tussauds Berlin removed Donald Trump’s waxwork as a preparatory measure.” It’s worth noting that it’s unusual for the museum to remove a president’s figure after they leave office; for instance, Barack Obama’s wax figure remains on display.
This isn’t the first time the Berlin museum has taken a jab at Trump. Earlier in the year, they used his figure to illustrate the proper way to wear a face mask, reflecting public health guidelines.
With the election approaching, turnout at polling places is expected to be lower than in previous years. Reports indicate that over 90 million Americans have already cast their votes. If you haven’t participated yet, make sure to make your voice heard on November 3.
