An Elon Musk caricature was depicted holding a swastika while a Donald Trump model was seen to squash Volodymyr Zelenskyy at a parade in Germany.
Residents of Düsseldorf in Germany made their thoughts on Donald Trump and his sidekick Elon Musk apparent with a series of floats depicting the two men as caricatures of their most controversial moments.
The floats were paraded as part of Germany’s Rose Monday parade in Düsseldorf – an annual carnival event on Shrove Monday before Ash Wednesday, attracting thousands of people in the city.
Video
“MAGA really doesn’t like the Trump, Putin, and Elon Musk floats at the carnival parade in Germany, My hats off to the Germans!” wrote one person who watched the video.
The works were created by German sculptor and illustrator, Jacques Tilly, who told Visit Dueseldorf: “When our order is threatened, we build floats with strong opinions all the more.”
It comes not long after it was revealed Musk and Weidel’s X/Twitter chat was being investigated by the German parliament and after Trump’s infamously “appalling” meeting with Zelensky in the Oval Office.
Ukraine aid
It comes as the Trump administration has suspended delivery of all US military aid to Ukraine, blocking billions in crucial shipments as the White House piles pressure on Ukraine to sue for peace with Vladimir Putin.
The decision affects deliveries of ammunition, vehicles, and other equipment including shipments agreed to when Joe Biden was president.
Razom for Ukraine, a Ukrainian advocacy group, said: “By abruptly halting military assistance to Ukraine, President Trump is hanging Ukrainians out to dry and giving Russia the green light to continue marching west. Razom for Ukraine urges the White House to immediately reverse course, resume military aid and pressure Putin to end his horrific invasion.”
