Naked Trump statues appear in U.S. cities.
Life-size naked statues of Donald Trump made appearances in New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Seattle and Cleveland earlier this month. The unauthorized art installations were created by an activist collective called INDECLINE, which titled the project The Emperor Has No Balls.
The statues mysteriously appeared in the five U.S. cities on Aug. 18, drawing hundreds of curious onlookers with their cameras. Here, authorities haul away the illegally placed statue from New York City's Union Square Park.

Winnipeg nightclub's 'murinal.'
Donald Trump is famous for being a bit of a potty mouth, but a Winnipeg nightclub is giving that expression a whole new meaning. A mural inside the men's washroom gives customers the chance to relieve themselves beneath a painting of the far-right presidential hopeful. Painted by Winnipeg artist Nereo, the black and white mural features both the image of Trump's face and a selection of quotes and "outlandish statements" Trump has made, said District Stop Nightclub co-owner Casey Lourens.

Trump's face — and other parts — appear in Europe.
Many comparisons were made between Donald Trump and former London mayor Boris Johnson leading up to the U.K.'s Brexit referendum in June. The then-London mayor was one of the biggest names leading the campaign for Britain to leave the EU.

The hut consists of 96 hula skirts made of straw — straw from Mexico — and also contains a Persian carpet and a fancy phone. In July, the artists placed the hut just outside the Republican National Convention in Cleveland as a welcoming place for protesters to rest.
Trump masks flying off the shelves in China.
China's Jinhua partytime latex art and crafts factory is churning out masks of Donald Trump and Democratic rival Hillary Clinton.

"I think in 2016 this mask will completely sell out," he said.
