Recently, Donald Trump was mocked at Germany’s Rose Monday carnival in Düsseldorf. The parade used big floats to make fun of the president in unusual ways.
One float showed Trump punching Jesus Christ in the face. Jesus wore a shirt that read “Love & humanity,” while Trump had “ICE” on his sleeve.

Another float showed him fighting Russian President Vladimir Putin over a small blonde woman marked “Europe.” Putin was also seen stabbing a figure labeled “satire.”

The late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein was also mocked. He appeared as a vampire with wings reading “everyone protects the perpetrators” and “everyone ignores the victims.” Photos of the floats spread quickly online and caught a lot of attention.
Sculptor Jacques Tilly, who makes the floats, is no stranger to trouble. He is on trial in Moscow in absentia for spreading false information about the Russian military. “Humour can hurt and definitely affect those targeted,” he said in December, promising that Monday’s parade would be “foolish and satirical” as always.
Tilly’s previous floats are well known for being clear and shocking. He has shown Putin in a bathtub of blood or behind bars. German leaders were not safe either. One float showed Chancellor Friedrich Merz and Bavarian leader Markus Soeder riding a skeleton with a steering wheel labeled “combustion engine,” criticizing EU climate rules.
Carnival in Germany mixes fun with politics. It started as a Christian festival, but serious topics are often made into jokes. “Carnival is bad music, plastered people and a good vibe,” said Frederik Held, a sports scientist from Frankfurt. “Everything’s better with confetti.”
Cologne has the biggest parade. This year, 300,000 bouquets and 300 tonnes of sweets were thrown from floats along the city streets. Mariana Leshkovych, from the pro-Ukraine group Blue Yellow Cross, joined to defend free speech. “We are here in Cologne to represent this, to support humour and criticism of those in power, because we would like to see this continue in Ukraine,” she said.
