Donald Trump has been brutally mocked as he celebrated Presidents’ Day in the United States.
Over in Germany, Düsseldorf’s infamous Rose Monday carnival parade delivered a relentless dose of Trump satire.
Towering floats rolling through the city showed Trump in a string of outrageous scenes.
One float saw the President throwing punches at Jesus Christ with ICE on his arm.
Another, cuddling up to Vladimir Putin.
And a third had him dancing with his tongue out and trousers down while kissing the Statue of Liberty.

The parade is intended to present a whole gallery of political and cultural targets, turning them into a form of public protest.
Düsseldorf and other German carnival cities have a long tradition of using floats to mock leaders, expose hypocrisy, and puncture the seriousness of power.
The floats are built to be photographed, shared, argued over, and remembered.
