Summary
A bronze statue of Melania Trump, which was unveiled in Sevnica, Slovenia in July 2020, has been stolen, leaving only its feet and a tree stump behind. This statue was a replacement for a wooden version that was burned in 2019, with artist Brad Downey creating the bronze to last longer. Local police are investigating the theft, while Downey suspects it may relate to political sentiments regarding Trump’s potential re-election, amidst mixed feelings from local authorities about the statue’s representation of the former First Lady.
