London’s most famous wax museum has changed up one of its most prominent exhibits: Outgoing US President Donald Trump. Normally seen in a black suit with a long, red tie, Trump’s figure has now been adorned in a set of garish golfer clothes in a bid to reflect what the soon-to-be ex-president will be doing in 2021, according to the museum.
“His campaign may not have been a hole in one, but @realDonaldTrump is now on course to dedicate more of his time to his favourite sport as #MadameTussaudsLondon re-dresses his figure in golfing attire to reflect his potential 2021 wardrobe Camera @PA” Madame Tussauds tweeted.

The original version of the statue was made at a cost of around $185,000 and, with his hair made out of a combination of human and yak hair. His eyebrows, incidentally, are made of squirrel hair.,
A week ago, the Madame Tussauds in Berlin already made a statement—tossing its statue of Trump into a dustbin, now part of a new exhibit. Though the move was made before it was known that Trump had lost the election, the museum said it was a “preparatory measure”.
Madame Tussauds replaced its statue of Obama with the one of Trump in 2017.
