Donald Trump Waxwork Stares At His Phone, Ignores Melania Trump In New Display

"He looks very real, but hes not quite orange enough," one visitor said of the Trump figure unveiled at Madame Tussauds Dubai.

A waxwork of Donald Trump typing on his cellphone was unveiled at the Madame Tussauds museum in Dubai, which opened Wednesday.

It’s unclear what’s on Trump’s screen. The former president has been banned from social media following his incitement of the deadly Jan. 6 Capitol riot.

An effigy of former first lady Melania Trump stands nearby.

“He looks very real, but he’s not quite orange enough,” visitor Marwa al-Haddad told The Associated Press .

Other waxworks of Trump have made headlines during and after his presidency.

In 2017, a topless feminist protester groped a statue  of the then-president during its official unveiling at the Madrid Wax Museum in Spain.
