Madame Tussauds London can be trusted to create some pretty lifelike waxwork celebrities, but the new figure of Donald Trump is scarily realistic.

Ahead of his inauguration on Friday, the scowling lifelike figure of the soon-to-be 45th President of the United States is portrayed in a mock-up of the White House’s Oval Office.

Dressed in a navy suit, crisp white shirt and a red tie – plus an American flag lapel pin – Trump’s doppelganger replaces Barack Obama’s waxwork on the set. Ouch.

The attention to detail is pretty remarkable.

He will join various other world leaders at the popular London attraction, including Vladimir Putin and the late South African leader Nelson Mandela.
