I didn't think the video could beat the thumbnail, but with deadpan narrator, all the more hilarious.👏

It's kinda ironic it was his head.

Honest Abe after seeing the state of this once great nation.

The symbolism is incredible.

Looking at you, Wax John Wilkes Booth. 🤨

This was deliberate for gaslighting purposes, they knew what would happen.
If it melted it would be a puddle, it softened in the sun, wax will softened in the sun at lower temperatures.

It's no coincidence the head came off first

Will be replaced with sugar statue 😊

That's nothing. I live in AZ and my plastic blinds melted in the 110 degree sun.

Wax sculpture in the summer months. What could go wrong?😂

[@matty6878]

it was meant to melt. only with wicks that anyone could light. seems the sun got to it first

Bro survived the civil war, but not a heatwave? I guess history was repeating itself at the Booth.

An adequate metaphor for a decaying empire.

This references 2 separate jokes on The Simpsons. The town statue having its head cut off. And a heatwave melting everything at a wax museum. Weird.
