Donald Trump effigy shot and burned in Spanish Easter celebrations

An effigy of Donald Trump was marched through the streets before being shot and burned as part of Easter Sunday celebrations in Spain.

Every Easter, locals in the town of Coripe, Seville, string up a ‘Judas’ figure representing a public figure whose actions are deemed to be ‘morally reprehensible’.

Video shows the Trump doll, sporting a dark navy suit, red tie and unmistakable shock of blonde hair, leading a town parade at gunpoint before being hung from a tree in the town square and shot at with rifles from close range.

The effigy, made by mothers of students from the local school, is then set on fire.

The burning of ‘Judas’ effigies is a common ritual amongst Christian communities as part of traditional Easter celebrations.
