Statue of Melania Trump vanishes in Slovenia, following the arson of a previous version
Vanishing Act: The Mystery of the Missing Statue
It started like any other day in Sevnica, Slovenia – a quiet town, going about its business. But then something was missing, and people started talking.
The bronze statue of Melania Trump, which had stood as a curious tribute in her hometown, was suddenly gone. People were left wondering what happened. The original wooden statue had been set ablaze back in July 2020, and later replaced with this bronze version. Crafted from a linden tree trunk, the wooden statue once depicted her wearing a pale blue dress – reminiscent of her attire at Mr. Trump’s 2017 presidential inauguration.
A Curious Replica
Yet, even this replacement seemed different. Some locals commented it didn’t quite look like the former first lady at all. There was something almost abstract about it – an artistic interpretation, perhaps?
As word spread, I couldn’t help but remember when I first read about the wooden statue being burned down. It was a little surprising, how quickly something could be there one day and gone the next.
The police have taken an interest in this case now. It’s not every day that a bronze statue just disappears into thin air. This isn’t just a small piece to cart off either. Whoever took it had some determination.
The Town Reacts
Folks in Sevnica seem divided – some are upset over the loss, while others think it’s all just part of the intrigue surrounding anything related to Melania Trump. The international spotlight has danced on this town occasionally since she became a global figure.
A friend once told me about visiting there and feeling the mix of pride and ambivalence among residents about their famous connection. Now, with this disappearance, it seems that blend of feelings is stirred up again.

I suppose we’ll have to wait and see if the statue makes a return or if it becomes another tale whispered in the streets of Sevnica…
