I am pretty damn sure, no one, no matter how good they may be could ever make donny look good.

President Superspreader looks like a melted candle most days.

But I agree - I've seen better wax figures by other artists.

I think perhaps they're not throwing it away; I'd bet this is how they're displaying him now. This looks like it's set up outside the entrance as a public display.

BERLIN (Reuters) - The waxwork museum Madame Tussauds in Berlin loaded its effigy of TV star-turned Republican president Donald Trump into a dumpster on Friday, a move apparently intended to reflect its expectations of next Tuesday’s presidential election.

In what seemed a further calculated insult, the statue of his predecessor and nemesis Barack Obama, who counted Germany’s Chancellor Angela Merkel among his closest allies, remained in place, beaming and besuited.

Just melt it a little, and the resemblance will be uncanny...

some years ago on a Fulbright Scholarship. I sent him the story. He'll get a laugh out of it.
