The statue seems to have been recycled from some Japanese kitsch. I am guessing this as the feet are in flipflops (a clue), and the costume looks like traditional Japanese summer wear painted over.
There are a number of statues in Japan to a beloved bungling cop well known in Japanese culture for his wild arm-flailing and hideous facial gestures. There are statues all over Tokyo to him. Kochikame resembles Trump enough that it may explain why that statue was made.
Often the figures are made with the bronze face like the one of Trump.
I think they have decided Trump looks and acts like this crazy character. I am not sure it's a compliment.
