NEUSTADT BEI COBURG, Germany (Reuters) - A Bavarian maker of Donald Trump-style wigs said on Wednesday her factory has been overwhelmed by demand for the U.S. president's blonde coiffure from Germans preparing for carnival celebrations this week.

The six-day long carnival takes place in Catholic parts of Germany and revellers in the Rhineland cities of Cologne, Duesseldorf and Mainz traditionally poke fun at politicians. One of the main targets of this year's jokes is Trump.
