RESIDENTS in East Lothian were surprised to see a mannequin dressed like former US President Donald Trump appear in a charity shop window.

The Trump mannequin was seen in Oxfam’s shop display on Haddington High Street at the weekend, attracting the attention of a number of passersby.

The charity has since apologised for the mannequin being displayed and vowed to have it removed.

Pictures taken by the Courier show a mask of the former President on a dummy, complete with a blazer and red baseball cap, with an American flag over his shoulders.

One passerby told the Courier: "It is rather funny but I really hope that this is not in support of Donald Trump."

Another said: "I do not like him at all, I think this is in poor taste and is not what you would expect in a charity shop window."

While a third said: "The shop's volunteers have done a great job to make him look like a complete numpty."

'Gone rogue'

Mr Trump is currently bidding to return to the White House in November's Presidential election after being chosen as the Republican candidate.

He faced off against his main rival for the Presidency, incumbent President Joe Biden, in a live TV debate last Thursday.

Millions of Americans are expected to head to the polls on November 5.

An Oxfam spokesperson said: “It seems one of our mannequins has gone rogue.

"Rest assured, Oxfam is entirely non-partisan and the mannequin will be removed from our window display as soon as the store reopens.

"We apologise for any confusion.”

Donald Trump and the Republican Party have been contacted for comment.
