Museum Removes Wax Statue Of Trump That Visitors Beat Up

Them months after leaving the White House, Donald Trump still has his detractors in the United States. Recently, an article from San Antonio Express-News, spotted by Business Insider, indicates that the wax museum of this city of Texas removed a statue of the former American president under the pretext that visitors kept attacking him. Customers of Louis Tussaud’s Waxworks Museum are said to have punched the statue’s face and scratched the face. These acts were repeated so many times that the museum’s curators made the decision to have it removed from the grounds.

Clay Stewart, regional director of Ripley Entertainment, explained to the American newspaper that the rumble around the statue of the Republican president had clearly increased since the start of the presidential campaign: “When it comes to a highly political figure , attacks can be a problem. Visitor attacks on Donald Trump escalated last summer as the 2020 presidential campaign gathered momentum.

George W. Bush and Barack Obama statues also vandalized in the past

On its Instagram account, a San Antonio cultural association posted a photo of the wax figure of the former US president, which was on display alongside those of Russian leaders Vladimir Putin and North Korean Kim Jong-un. If the presence of Donald Trump visibly annoyed some visitors, Clay Stewart also specifies that the statues of former American presidents, such as George W. Bush and Barack Obama, had suffered the same fate in the past.
