About the fact that former US President Donald Trump had tumultuous ties with China up until his final days in office, his Buddha-like statue is famous on China's online shopping website with the hashtag "make your company great again!" It's a white statue with Trump's face lowered and both hands lying on his lap.
The statue comes in two sizes, one is the larger one that measures, 4.6 meters and costs Rs 44,707, while the smaller one stands at 1.6 meters and values Rs 11,168. Trump is shown in the statue seated cross-legged with his hands crossed in his laps and fingers pointed outwards, which is a Buddha posture that represents reflection and meditation.
The product review for Trump's Buddha statue on the e-commerce platform states that "Trump Buddha understands Buddhism better than anybody," and that having him in your workplace would "make your business great again."
The seller told the media outlet that most people purchased it just for pleasure and that thousands of pieces had already been sold despite the fact that only 100 sculptures were made. The media outlet also cited an unidentified Shanghai buyer as saying that he purchased the Trump Buddha statue to put on his desk as decor.
Besides that, a customer from Shanghai says in a statement that he purchased one of the sculptures and saw it on WeChat. He explained, "I bought it for fun and put it on my desk at home as a decoration." Not only this, but also said that Trump's age has passed and US President Joe Biden now rules the world, the Shanghai buyer said he wanted to buy the Trump Buddha statue to remind himself "Don't be too Trump."
