Police in Slovenia are investigating the disappearance of a bronze statue of the United States's first lady, Melania Trump, which was sawed off at the feet and carried away from her hometown.

The life-size sculpture near Sevnica in central Slovenia, where Melanija Knavs was born in 1970, was unveiled in 2020 during US President Donald Trump’s first term in office.

It replaced a wooden statue that had been set on fire earlier that year.

    When was it ever appropriate to honor plagiarizing gold diggers who spread their legs married a fascist with statues? If anything that really says something negative about the place it’s erected. If that’s the biggest thing they have to be proud of.

        It’s slut shaming to point out her only notable accomplishments and mention that she doesn’t deserve a statue? I don’t deserve a statue either. Am I slut shaving myself for saying that?

        Do what you like, and be as freaky as you want to be. As long as everyone is consenting it’s all good by me. And fuck anyone that’s got a problem with it, because it’s none of their business.

        If we are going to erect statues of sluts. Something which I am all for. We have much better sluts to choose from. Ones that contributed far more to society. Betty Page comes to mind. Hell Jenna Jameson if you want. The problem with Melania isn’t that she is a slut. So much that she’s enabled trump. And has nothing else to claim.

        Don’t get me wrong I’m absolutely open to constructive criticism. And if you have some better thoughts as to what she is known for that would be better to criticize her over I would be happy to hear.

          I didn’t say that she deserves a statue. She’s a horrible person. I said that you don’t have to moralize. Her being a woman that “spread her legs”, as you put it, has NOTHING to do with any of this. It’s just a thing you thought would be a low-hanging insult.

            Honestly not really. The sad thing is that some of the highest fruit as far as anyone knows anything about her. That’s how undeserving she is.

            I think you are hyper focusing trying to read things into other things there were never there or intended. The point wasn’t to say that she was undeserving because she did that. But only that she was undeserving because she hasn’t done anything more than that. Anything more than just about anyone else. That said after some thought I absolutely think I could have ordered it better. And can acknowledge fault in at least that much. So I will go back and try to amend it to a better state.
