A carnival float shows US President Donald Trump dancing provocatively with Miss Liberty under the slogan “Stormy Donald,” during the annual Rose Monday parade on February 16, 2026 in Mainz, Germany. Rose Monday is the highlight of Carnival season, especially in western Germany, where parade float designers are famous for often searing and irreverent depictions of German and foreign politicians.Credit:Thomas Lohnes/Getty Images
