Trump Buddha statues are sold out on the Chinese online shopping portal Taobao. A seller on Taobao made 100 ceramic statues of Donald Trump in the traditional Buddha pose and sold them all off. Prices varied from $153 and $613, depending on size.
Fancy owning a ceramic statue of former POTUS Donald Trump? He sure looks awfully calmer than his human counterpart. You can have a miniature version (5 feet) for $153 on the Chinese online shopping platform Taobao. But if you want to make sure everyone notices you have Trump's Buddha avatar in your home or office, go for the 14 feet statue. It will cost more, at a pricey $613. The product even as a joke tagline for its listing posted on the site, "Make your company great again!", based on Donald Trump's signature MAGA slogan.
While the statue shows Trump with his trademark hairdo, it has, uncharacteristically, a rather peaceful expression on his face. His hands are seen resting on his lap, referencing the traditional iconography of Buddhist statues in China. As per an Insider report, the figurine's description says: "Trump, who knows Buddhism better than anyone."
Commenting at the link Mr. Smith says, "That is utterly obscene." Mr. Smith trumpets his relevance with a show of glorious outrage. Have we reached peak wokism yet?
