Museum’s golden trolling of Donald Trump after White House Van Gogh request
The White House asked the Guggenheim Museum in New York to borrow Van Gogh’s Landscape with Snow, an 1888 work of a man and his dog walking through a field.
The Guggenheim reportedly declined, and offered this instead.

It’s a fully functioning solid gold toilet, called America, which visitors to the Guggenheim are able to use (and tens of thousands of people apparently have).
What better place to do a Trump?
The Guggenheim offering Trump a used gold toilet instead of a Van Gogh is the utmost example of trolling as an art form

The White House requested to borrow a Vincent van Gogh art piece from the Guggenheim to decorate President Trump's private quarters.
They declined, and instead offered a publicly used, solid gold toilet art piece titled "America." pic.twitter.com/MecUCgtxHJ
