Popular Chinese shopping portal Taobao is receiving massive traffic from the customers who are rushing to buy a ceramic statue of former United States President Donald Trump.
It’s the idea of a Chinese furniture maker to make ceramic Trump Buddha statues. The statues that are being sold like hot cakes are available in two sizes. One is a miniature version statue that is 5 feet in height and the other one is 14 feet statue. The statues are priced at $153 and $613 respectively.
The furniture maker even poked fun at the former President’s election slogan: Let us make the United States great again. On the lines of the slogan, the maker gave the tagline, “Make your company great again!”
What makes the statue special is, unlike Donald Trump’s real behavior, the statue presents Donald Trump as cool and with a peaceful expression. Donald Trump can be seen meditating with his hands placed on his lap.
With the growing demand for the ceramic statutes, the other companies have also started selling T-shirts, hoodies, and other products with Donald Trump’s face. People in China are rushing to get these products too.
