Speaking of toilets, a la flushing the future down one:

A Van Gogh? Trump wouldn’t know a Van Gogh if it bit him on his ear.

He definitely doesn’t know a Renoir forgery.

Not an ounce of respect for the dotard, not from any corner of highbrow American life, not from a single organization in what he considers his birthright social stratum. Although I’m sure he can still go rile up a crowd in Huntington, WV, or maybe suburban St. Louis. You know, his people.

Sad!

Awesome. Duchamp would be proud. Though to be honest, his “Fountain” might be more appropriate for the
Pee-resident, don’t you think?

When I first heard about the golden toilet a couple of years ago, I immediately thought of Trump. The connection is too obvious.

I could also see Damien Hirst going toe to toe with Trump with his work For the Love of God:

Basically, vulgar = Trump.

No tank, so it looks to be a high-suction commercial job. Should make quick work of all those cheeseburgers.

The White House asked the Guggenheim Museum to borrow a painting by Vincent van Gogh for use in President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump’s private quarters.

Had they complied with the White House’s request, they would have never seen the van Gogh painting again.

A golden shower would be even better.

Serious question: Is it standard practice for presidents to request works of art from museums?

I think so - I know that the White House is redecorated to fit the desires of the occupants, and it’s not as if the White House keeps its own actual stash of fancy-pants art in a warehouse somewhere.

Museums loan stuff to each other all the time, sometimes a short-term loan and sometimes much longer. And the White House really is a museum of its own by many standards.

That said, lol fuck Trump.

I’m sure that he refused the golden toilet because he had already installed them in the WH himself.

Why did Van Gogh hate his wife’s [just play along] nagging so much? Because it would go in one ear and stay there.

This is a different kind of presidency.

In French, a golden douche.

“Trump petitioned the Guggenheim for the van Gogh only after the Union Turnpike Art Mart declined his earlier request for ‘Chicks With Winnebagos’.”
