""In a time of unprecedented division, escalating conflict, and economic turmoil, President Trump focused on what truly mattered: remodeling the Lincoln bathroom in the White House," reads a bronze plaque affixed to the work."
"To us, it's a tribute. Many people would say that things feel very dark in our country right now. So let's focus on what this President did do that he does best - turn a regular bathroom into a bright, marble and gold Trumpified bathroom."
A 10-foot-tall sculpture titled "A Throne Fit For A King" was unveiled at the Lincoln Memorial, featuring a golden toilet. The piece critiques President Trump's focus on extravagant remodeling projects, including the controversial renovation of the Lincoln bathroom and a $300 million ballroom in the East Wing. The anonymous artist group Secret Handshake created the sculpture, which encourages visitors to sit on the toilet. The group aims to highlight the current state of division and turmoil in the country through this satirical work.
