Mexicans burn effigy of Donald Trump during traditional 'burning of Judas' Easter celebrations

Hundreds of Mexicans celebrated Easter this weekend by burning an effigy of Donald Trump.

As part of a traditional Mexico City ritual, sculptures of the US President were burned alongside models of Judas Iscariot and other figures symbolising evil and treachery.

Trump sparked fury during the presidential race when he threatened to build a 2,000-mile wall along the country's border with the US, and force Mexico to pay for it.

Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto has remained adamant there is "no scenario" where Mexico would pay for any wall built by Trump.

And so for the second year running, Mexicans decided to cast Judas as Trump - kitting him with what has become a familiar power red tie.

At the ritualistic burning on Easter Saturday, hundreds of locals congregated in a public square to watch the effigy burn alongside the setting off of fireworks.

Trump was not the only high-profile figure who was given the Judas treatment in Mexico City.

So was the Mexican President, whose popularity has fallen dramatically over the past couple years.
