  • Donald Trump is not typically known for his calm or reserve, but in a craftsman's workshop in rural China the US president-elect sits in divine contemplation. "Every day there's interesting news when he's president.

The article from MSN discusses a Chinese artist named Wang who has created and sold statues depicting former U.S. President Donald Trump in a Buddha-like pose. These statues, which portray Trump in a meditative state with a serene expression, have become unexpectedly popular in China, a country where Trump's political image is often viewed critically. The statues, priced at around $150 each, have found buyers among both Trump supporters and those who see the artwork as a satirical or ironic commentary on Trump's persona. Wang's creation has sparked discussions on social media, with some appreciating the artistic fusion of Eastern and Western cultural elements, while others debate the implications of idolizing or mocking political figures through art. The artist himself has expressed surprise at the commercial success of these pieces, noting that his intention was more about exploring the intersection of politics and spirituality rather than making a political statement.
