A large billboard of Donald Trump dead in a coffin with the words ‘we kill Trump’ has been unveiled in Tehran.

The installation comes days after Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s massive funeral,in which attendees chanted slogans about murdering the US president.

The billboard shows Trump,with his hair sticking up wildly and hands crossed upon a large belly,lying in what appears to be a coffin.

The installation is in Islamic Revolution Square,in the centre of Iran’s capital city.

Last week,Trump told reporters: ‘Now they have another set of leaders. They may be gone. Who knows?

‘And you know what? I may be gone too,because I’m their number one target.
