Melania Trump Statue missing in her hometown in Slovenia

“Melania” appeared on the banks of the Sava river in July 2020, four months before her human inspiration left the White House.

Now, four months after the former Melanija Knavs in Washington's most famous residence have been resumed, her avatar has apparently made an unfounded outcome of her Slovenian hometown Sevnica.

Everything that the remains of the massive bronze statue are are the feet and two meter high tree stump on which they stood.

The symmetry would probably appeal to the bizarre US director Wes Anderson, who often contains bizarre raids in his films. But even in his back catalog, there has never been anything like the cursed statue of first lady.

Because this is not the first time that a Melania Trump tribute in Sevnica has reached a sticky end.

The first iteration was unveiled in July 2019. Carved by a single piece of wood from a chainsaw-local craftsman named Ale “Maxi” Zupevc, she took a year before a non-identified perpetrator decided to transform her into a quarter of July.

Fortunately, the US artist Brad Downey, the Maxi commissioned to create the wooden original, had already made a line -up of the statue. It properly celebrated a comeback in bronze, in the same place.

In his unveiling, Mr. Downey said that the new version was designed in such a way that it is “as solid as possible as possible, from a durable material that cannot be deliberately destroyed”.

But as it turns out, it can be chopped off and removed on the ankles.

The local police say they treat “Melania's” disappearance as “theft” and have initiated an investigation.

Brad Downey always insisted that his work was political. He chose Maxi as an employee because his upbringing was similar to the first lady.

And he argued that Melania Trump benefited from a rapidly persecuted US citizenship process, while other immigrants suffered from her husband's “xenophobic” policy.

Now he suspects that the disappearance of the statue “has something to do with the fact that Trump will be re -elected”.

The local authorities have mixed feelings in the Sevnica. They condemned “any form of disorders with private or public property”.

But they added: “The picture of the US First Lady wasn't something that someone was proud of”.
