At a busy thoroughfare inside the European Parliament, passing politicians are now confronted with a grotesque and gilded vision of American power: an 8.5-foot-tall (2.6-metre-tall) statue of U.S. President Donald Trump, naked but for a thin layer of 23-karat gold leaf.

    Maybe they shouldn't have campaigned so poorly and ignored their base. Republicans are worse than democrats.

    thats a wierd logic. so people didn't vote for them and now want to complain they are not doing enough from their position that does not alllow them to which allows the republicans to do all this shit so they are as bad as the republicans because people chose for that to be the case.

    thats 100% not true. I was blown away what got done in a biden administration even given the poor position they were in. half got reversed but that again was because of those that helped vote in trump and the republican legislature. many good things came out of obama to and clinton. finally after many years and hindsite people realize how good carter was.
