Bishop Glettler finds artwork depicting Trump on the cross "simply perverse"
The controversial artwork "Saint or Sinner" by Mason Strom, which will be shown at the "Gleis4" gallery at Basel's train station from September 6th, depicts US President Trump on the cross, continues to cause outrage.

"I find the work by the British artist Mason Storm, which was reportedly already shown in Vienna, simply perverse. There's simply nothing about it that makes any sense," Bishop Hermann Glettler criticized in an interview with kath.ch.

"Or do they want to further intensify the egomaniacal dealmaker from Washington's lust for power with the central Christian symbol? Trump strapped to the cross as the saviour, or as a martyr in the orange clothes of a prisoner shortly before his execution? "Yes, please, is that even possible?!" exclaims the 60-year-old clergyman, who has been the Diocesan Bishop of Innsbruck since 2017.
