BEIJING — A mall in northern China has installed a larger-than-life canine statue with more than a passing resemblance to US President Donald Trump to welcome the coming Year of the Dog.
The giant pooch towers above shoppers in Taiyuan, capital of Shanxi province, sporting a slick golden pompadour, angled brows and a red scarf with one index finger raised in a distinctly Trumpian manner.
As he was born in 1946, Trump, who has been accused of having more bark than bite, is a dog under the Chinese zodiac—a trait which he shares with his predecessors George W. Bush and Bill Clinton.
Those born in the Year of the Dog, according to Chinese astrology, are forthright and extremely loyal, in addition to having a strong sense of justice. But they can also be stubborn, irritable and easily angered.
Last year the mall erected a large Trump-like rooster, which inspired numerous replicas, including a giant inflatable one placed not far from the White House this summer.
Interesting
The big dog. That is all that needs to be said.
Do they have the year of the frog? Kek triggered!! lmao

It’s kind of cute. Like a bulldog or maybe a boxer.
Love it!!!
The description of a person born in the year of the dog aptly captures President Trump’s attributes.
Just for fun, I suggest some fitting breeds that might be appropriate for this thread/theme.
Golden Retriever
Great Dane
GERMAN SHEPHERD
Saint Bernard
Happy 2018 to all on Free Republic!!
If Hillary had won, they could’ve erected on for the year of the B!tch
They have Christmas trees in China.
See my Post #7.
I wish I had included your choices of a bulldog and a boxer.
Those breeds certainly depict President Trump’s personality, especially his fighting spirit!!!
They have Christmas trees in China.
These days, China is not that different from anywhere else.
Trees, no God mostly.
There is a small percentage of Christians, but the heavy hand of the state is ever present.
No sermons. No heated churches in winter.
I lived in Shanghai for 3 years.
He is a Rhodesian Ridgeback. AKA ‘Rhodesian lion dog’ The dog that could keep a pride of lions in check till you got there to shoot them. He is an American Bad Ass. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mt84J7U75e0
Saw Bob Richey opening night at Detroit Little Caesars Arena this fall. 5th concert I’ve been too.

If there was an “Obama dog,” it would be sniffing another dog’s butt.
For sure. Qx thinks that dog is a highly respectful, almost adoring symbol honoring Trump. The Chinese love strong leaders and hate weak ones.
There’s a huge argument about how many Christians there are. It was conjectured in 1987 that there were possibly as many as 130 million Christians. It has certainly grown enormously since then in the percentage of believers.
Qx heard reasonably good sermons down the coast in Fuzhou, for 2 years at the state approved church. The government did NOT like anything said about Christ’s 2nd Coming nor anything about supernatural miracles etc.
