Striking a bullish pose in his navy suit and Republican red
silk tie, the model stands in the museum’s Oval Office exhibit,
alongside German Chancellor Angela Merkel, the Dalai Lama and
India's Mahatma Gandhi.
"Our studio team have been frantically busy matching his
infamous glowing tan and trademark hairstyle in time for the
start of his presidential reign," said Edward Fuller, General
Manager of Madame Tussauds London.
"Our guests will now find him standing imperiously in the Oval
Office section within the attraction where he’ll reside for the
remainder of his presidency."
Security was tight at the unveiling following a protest in
Madrid on Tuesday, where a topless woman from the feminist group
FEMEN attacked a Trump statue at a waxwork museum.
Reuters journalists there saw the woman push past security ropes
and place her hand on the statue's crotch while screaming "grab
patriarchy by the balls." In a recording leaked last October,
Trump spoke of grabbing women "by the pussy".
There were no such scenes at the museum on Wednesday but
environmental and anti-racism groups are planning to stage
demonstrations in Britain on Friday, the day Trump is
inaugurated as U.S. President.
