In the latest in a series of anti-Trump pranks in Washington, a golden toilet has appeared on the National Mall.
According to HuffPost, an anonymous art collective called “The Secret Handshake” has placed the golden toilet near the Lincoln Memorial, where it appeared on March 30. It’s called “A Throne Fit For A King.”
“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,” a plaque on the art installation says. “This, his crowning achievement, is a bold reminder that the President isn’t just a businessman, he’s taking care of business… It stands as a tribute to an unwavering visionary who looked down, saw a problem, and painted it gold.”

The installation is set up in such a way that visitors can sit on the toilet. It was on display for “several days.”
A White House spokesman, Davis Ingle, wasn’t shy about commenting on the appearance of the golden toilet.
“President Trump is making the White House and our entire Nation’s Capital more beautiful than ever before,” Ingle said in a statement to the media outlet. “The president will never stop working on behalf of the American people and fulfill the promises that he was overwhelmingly elected to do.”
The same group has claimed responsibility for similar prank structures in the last year.

“The Secret Handshake has been installing satirical monuments to Trump all over D.C. for years, often in the wee hours of the morning, so nobody can see who is doing it,” HuffPost reported. “Earlier this month, the group installed a 12-foot statue by the U.S. Capitol of Trump embracing convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, depicting the two as the fictional lovers in the film ‘Titanic.'”
