Trump Disgraces America Every Day

... offers a solid gold toilet instead.

"The emailed response from the Guggenheim’s chief curator to the White House was polite but firm: The museum could not accommodate a request to “borrow” a painting by Vincent Van Gogh for President and Melania Trump’s private living quarters.
Instead, wrote the curator, Nancy Spector, another piece was available, one that was nothing like “Landscape With Snow,” the lovely 1888 Van Gogh rendering of a man in a black hat walking along a path in Arles, France, with his dog.
The curator’s alternative: an 18-karat, fully functioning, solid gold toilet — an interactive work titled “America” that critics have described as pointed satire aimed at the excess of wealth in this country.
For a year, the Guggenheim had exhibited “America” — the creation of contemporary artist Maurizio Cattelan — in a public restroom on the museum’s fifth floor for visitors to use.
But the exhibit was over and the toilet was available “should the President and First Lady have any interest in installing it in the White House,” Spector wrote in an email obtained by The Washington Post." WP

The curator is irresponsible.

Recommending a solid gold shithole is funny and an excellent political point.

Now there is a very clever answer, and FWIW the Dotard deserves every insult thrown at him.

Come to think of it, why doesn't the Dotard buy a fake van Gogh as befits his personality? Besides, this is solid gold not the plated variety that the fake POTUS prefers.

The curator just could not help herself; she puts her museum in the cross hairs of politics--very irresponsible.

Additionally, the toilet name -- America.

You clearly haven't a clue what the role of art is, and has always been.

Having that piece in their collection is political.

I guess they could have called it shithole.

Travel to the U.S. has been on the decline ever since President Donald Trump took office, and new data from the Commerce Department shows the slump translates to a cost of $4.6 billion in lost spending and 40,000 jobs, according to an analysis by the U.S. Travel Association...

The downturn has also caused America to lose its spot as the world's second-most popular destination for foreign travel, ceding to Spain. (France is in first place).
