Germany is celebrating its annual Rose Monday carnival in traditionally satirical fashion: with floats that feature huge, unflattering puppets of politicians. US President Donald Trump is the focus of much of the rude humour this year. A float in Düsseldorf depicts a naked Donald Trump being shafted by a gigantic brown bear with the slogan “Russia scandal” written across its side.
One float at the Rose Monday parade in Mainz depicts North Korean leader Kim Jong-un and US President Donald Trump in their underwear and comparing the size of their missiles. Another shows the US President taking aim at the Paris climate agreement with a golf club. Theresa May is the target of a satirical float in Düsseldorf. The British Prime Minister is depicted giving birth to a horrific, misshapen Brexit baby
