First Lady Melania Trump was honored in her home country of Slovenia with a statue in the city of Sevnica this week and reviews of the statue are mixed.
The hand-carved wooden statue, which was unveiled on Friday in the First Ladys hometown, shows Mrs. Trump adorned in the powder blue suit by Ralph Lauren Collection she wore at her husband Donald Trumps 2017 inauguration, posing as she waves her hand.
The statue was commissioned by Berlin-based American artist Brad Downey and created by Ales Maxi Zupevc, a local Slovenian artist, who used a chainsaw to carve out the First Ladys likeness.
Local residents gave their opinion on the Melania Trump statue, which ranged from admiration to disdain.
