There are rumors of the golden throne in Trump Tower, and while digging around for pictures, found this:

The Trump family wanted to borrow a painting by Vincent van Gogh from the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum to adorn their White House residence. Instead, they were offered a solid gold toilet titled, "America," according to a report in the Washington Post.

More fascinating still, the 18-karat gold toilet, according to the Post, has been occupying the museum's fifth floor for visitors to use. The piece has been described as symbolizing excesses of the United States. Museum curator Nancy Spector, in an email to the White House obtained by the Post, offered the "America" piece, "should the president and first lady have any interest in installing it in the White House."

2. Perfect.

The work of art, the gesture from the museum - it makes quite a statement, and speaks volumes.

I'm having a problem signing in to Instagram, but if you go there and scroll down a little you'll find a house on the beach with an "Anyone but Trump 2020 sign on the door.

5. 3 days later a paint-by-numbers van Gogh would take its place. The real one sold on black market.
