00:00In Catalonia, a unique holiday tradition is taking the spotlight once again, with President-elect
00:05Donald Trump among the latest figures to star in a cheeky, clay-figuring collection.
00:11The pooper figures, which originated in the region's nativity scenes, feature small cultures
00:16of world leaders and celebrities, caught in a very unflattering pose.
00:20Originally designed as humorous shepherds hidden for sharp-eyed visitors to spot, the
00:25tradition has expanded to include public figures from all corners of the globe.
00:29Reuters says sales of these Trump figurines reflect the impact of the U.S. election.
00:34Trump figurines were popular in 2016 after his first presidential win and again in 2020,
00:40following his loss.
00:42This year, Trump is joined by French President Emmanuel Macron, as well as far-right leader
00:46Marine Le Pen and other global figures including Ukraine's Zelensky, Russia's Vladimir Putin
00:52and Venezuela's Nicolás Maduro.
