Graydon Carter’s memoir says he wrote an unflattering piece about how vulgar Trump is for GQ. Thin-skinned Donald got employees to buy all the copies. Si Newhouse, noting the brisk sales, recommend that Random House publish “The Art of the Deal,” which led to “The Apprentice.” Hence this presidency.
![This sculpture is a satirical piece titled "[The Orange Plague] created by Danish artist Jens Galschiøt.
The Imagery: The 2.6-meter-tall, gold-plated bronze sculpture depicts a naked, oversized Donald Trump riding on the back of a smaller man. He is holding a golf club in one hand and a pair of scales in the other.
The Meaning: According to Galschiøt, the piece is a satirical commentary on modern political power, climate policy, and the subversion of the rules-based international order.
Recent Exhibition: In October 2026, the statue drew global headlines when it went on public display inside the European Parliament building in Strasbourg, France, organized by Danish MEP Per Clausen.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:mxc7liuon6iq5gzapmmwkq22/bafkreig4jl7cx3l6wlver4z7e3cgkuxuaf4hjxrucecft2nrk2e3ot57nu)
