The video, which could not be independently verified by the Daily Express, shows Donald Trump dressed as a prisoner behind bars about to be hanged. The mock execution was observed by cheering Iranians on Tajrish Square in Tehran. The performance involving real actors is part of a billboard installation in the capital's busy square. A similar installation depicting Trump behind bars also amused passers-by in the square on October 21. Iran this week also unveiled a huge billboard and banners over Enqelab Square in central Tehran .
The poster depicts the US president behind bars with his head bowed. In English, the billboard pledges: "We will kill Trump". The state-organised spectacle took place just after Trump's historic defeat at the US midterm elections. Ali Nikzad, the first deputy speaker of the parliament, said: "These electoral defeats are the aftershocks of Trump’s defeat by the Iranian people."
