Trumped by Buddha

Chinese furniture maker Hong Jinshi has created statues of former US President Donald Trump meditating in a Buddhist pose. What started as a fun project has turned into a side hustle now, where he has received orders from China and abroad for 200 of the statues, which take 10 days to make. Hong was inspired by the potential contrast provided by the two extremisms of Buddhism and a former leader known for his sharp outbursts.  A 6-inch version costs $152.22 while an 18-inch statue costs $3,045. Hong said the project has brought him a lot of happiness and recommended Trump attempt a similar search for fulfillment.
