Slovenia’s Statue Of Melania Has Been Stolen [VIDEO]

The BBC reports:

“Melania” appeared on the banks of the River Sava in July 2020, four months before her human inspiration left the White House. Now, four months after the erstwhile Melanija Knavs resumed residence at Washington’s most famous address, her larger-than-life-size avatar has apparently made an undignified exit from her Slovenian hometown, Sevnica. All that remains of the massive bronze statue are the feet – and the two-metre-tall tree stump they were standing on.

The first iteration was unveiled in July 2019. Carved from a single piece of wood by a chainsaw-wielding local artisan called Ales “Maxi” Zupevc, it lasted a year before an unidentified perpetrator decided to turn it into a Fourth of July bonfire. It duly made a comeback in bronze, at the same site. Local police say they are treating “Melania’s” disappearance as “theft” and have launched an investigation.
