Madame Tussauds in Berlin has put its Donald Trump wax figure in the bin ahead of the US election.

The American President remains on display, but can be seen surrounded by signs showing tweets that read 'Fake News', 'You are fired' and 'I love Berlin', as well as rubbish bags and a Make America Great Again hat.

After wheeling Trump into prime position, the museum's marketing manager Orkide Yalcindag told Reuters: "Today's activity is rather of a symbolic character ahead of the elections in the United States. We here at Madame Tussauds Berlin removed Donald Trump's waxwork as a preparatory measure."

The US election will take place in just a few days on 3 November and Trump has already said that, if he loses, he may 'leave the country'.

The POTUS was speaking at a rally in Georgia on 16 October and as he addressed the crowd, he said it was inconceivable he could lose to Joe Biden, adding that it would be an embarrassment.

He said: "Running against the worst candidate in the history of American politics puts pressure on me. Could you imagine if I lose? My whole life, what am I going to do?

"I'm going to say, I lost to the worst candidate in the history of politics. I'm not going to feel so good. Maybe I'll have to leave the country, I don't know."

This came shortly after another rally where the 74-year-old threw face masks into a crowd of voters in Florida.

At his first mass gathering since announcing he and wife Melania had tested positive for coronavirus on 2 October, the President tossed masks into the crowd at Orlando Sanford International Airport and discussed how 'powerful' he felt.

He said: "If you don't feel good about going out, stay, relax, stay. You know the risk groups, you know the older people - see, fortunately I'm not an old person. I'm very young and I'm in such perfect shape. I'm in such great shape.

"One thing with me, the nice part - I went through it now. Now they say I'm immune. I feel so powerful.

"I will kiss everyone in that audience, I will kiss the guys and the beautiful women, everybody, I'll just give you a big fat kiss."

I'd have to politely decline.
