German carnival mocks Donald Trump and Theresa May with controversial floats
we are waiting for 2018
World leaders including Donald Trump and Theresa May have been mercilessly mocked at an annual carnival in Germany.
Political satire dominated the Düsseldorf parade, with the carnival floats taking aim at Trump’s controversial politics and Brexit.
One featured the US President attacking the Statue of Liberty and another display had Mrs May with a Brexit gun in her mouth.
Another controversial float grouped together Trump, Marine Le Pen of Front National, Dutch politician Geert Wilders of Partij voor de Vrijheid and Adolf Hitler.
Political satire is a traditional cornerstone of the annual Rose Monday parades, with tens of thousands of people joining street parties in the cities of Cologne, Düsseldorf and Mainz on Thursday for the start of five days of public festivities.
Among the clown and devil costumes seen every year were also a number of people dressed as the US President.
